The Detroit Youth Hostelers helped clear the trails. There were no bulldozers at the time and the work had to be done by hand. 

In 1953, a new lodge was erected that included 24 guest rooms, a new dining room, the swanky Snowflake Room,  and the first four season outdoor heated swimming pool east of the Mississippi.  

The Boynehof Lodge was built to handle the demand for lodging that skiers attending ski weeks required. Boynehof's alpine aesthetics inspired the later renovations of the resort. 

The addition of the four-place Meadows chairlift in 1964 was a monumental upgrade to skier's right and set the bar high in chairlift innovation.

Kircher welcomed the idea of a flight school at Boyne in the 70s. When his son John graduated from the academy with a dream of being a pilot at age 16, Everett closed the academy to ensure his sons stayed in the ski business.  

Boyne Mountain hosted some of the world's greatest skiers in professional races in the 60s and 70s, including Bob Beattie's Pro Tour.  Many of the races were broadcasted on ABC, famous names including Billy Kidd, Spider Sabich, and Jean-Claude Killy were in attendance. 

The second lift that was from the 1982 World’s Fair in Knoxville. It was installed almost in the center of Superbowl as a 2-place. We eventually converted it to a 3-place and it now is the Boyneland lift.

Designed with nods to the distinct design philosophies of a "who's who" list of legendary golf course architects, The Monument was dedicated in 1984 by Sam Snead and Governor Blanchard with Byron Nelson, Gene Sarazen, and Cathy Whitworth in attendance.  The 18-hole course pays homage to the game's most important influences - with holes dedicated to players and key contributors.

The Disciples' Ridge expansion added twelve runs to the map and one chairlift.

 The opening of the much anticipated Mountain Grand Lodge and Spa, a luxury condominium-hotel set in a four-season village atmosphere at Boyne Mountain Resort. The Mountain Grand Lodge and Spa features a full service spa, specialty shops, Everett's Restaurant, and modern function space.

BOYNE introduced its Low-E fan gun technology and the commitment for high-output, low energy snowmaking continues stronger than ever.  The ability to make greater quantities of snow with less compressed air not only creates the best possible surface conditions, but it also reduces energy consumption while increasing output.

Boyne Mountain and Boyne Highlands partnered with Burton to offer their exclusive “Learn To Ride” (LTR) program for juniors and adults, becoming the only Burton LTR centers in Michigan.

The addition of The Big Couloir to Avalanche Bay Indoor Waterpark. Riders begin in the launch capsule angled 10° from vertical, the steepest drop in the industry, where a trap door releases them into a narrow tunnel instantly accelerating riders to 38 feet per second. Powerful G-forces glue the rider to the wall the entire way around a 360° Super LOOP, all leading to a gentle landing in the watery run-out.

Design and construction began for a multi-field Sports Complex located on the north side of M-75 from the resort. Today it's the home to many soccer and lacrosse tournaments, including the Boyne City Ramblers. 

Renovated salon space with new pedicure lounge, nail and hair stations, and retail space. Newly laid out boutique, front desk, and shelving. 

Resort operations were shut down on March 15, 2020. This was the first time in Boyne Mountain's history that the entire resort was shut down for an extended period of time.  Bears enjoyed walking the grounds freely with not a bother in sight.

On-going, annual investments to continue to expand our snowmaking capability and increase automation.

Easily becoming one of the most desired wedding and dining venues in northern Michigan, the Deer Lake lawn and beach offer a desirable opportunity to enhance the space offerings. We have dreams of Lake Como charm with Italian-inspired dishes served indoors and out. Perhaps a beautifully constructed pavilion to host the most important events holds the future. Whichever direction we go, just know this projects ranks high on our list.

Years ago, we designed and laid out a Pete Dye course. With the resurgence of golf, this project is becoming hard to ignore.
