TODAY’S BLOG>/strong>(Saturday March 21st)

Good Saturday Morning!!

It’s officially Ring in Spring Weekend at The Highlands and yes, we saved the best for last. This is our final weekend of the 25/26 season, and with powder still on the hill, we couldn’t have written a better ending. Come get your last turns in before we close the doors on an incredible season this Sunday, March 22nd at 4:30 PM.

Today starts out with a bit of fog and some light snow or rain, temperatures today will reach the mid 30’s, so it will be a comfortable day to ride.The snow has a spring feel to it, but don’t let that fool you, conditions are still very much mid-winter, and the mountain is going out in style. Get out there!

Today is the moment you’ve all been waiting for the annual Slush Cup! Think you’ve got what it takes? Sign up and brave the pond. Not feeling that brave? No shame at all – come out, grab a $5 beer, and cheer on the ones who are. Either way, it’s not to be missed. Check out resort activities below for all the weekend details.

And the good news? The season doesn’t have to end Sunday. Certain Boyne Michigan passes are valid at Boyne Mountain, so you can keep the turns going a little longer.

We can’t thank you enough for spending your winter with us. What an incredible season it’s been. We’ll see you out there this weekend! Enjoy your day, we are glad you’re here at The Highlands!
