In the winter season, the Boyne area is packed with all kinds of winter sporting activities, from snowshoeing to snow walking, ice skating and even ice fishing.

With three of Michigan’s best ski resorts packed into one small space, Boyne skiing can provide days, if not weeks, of fun. The three resorts are Nub’s Nob, Boyne Highlands, and Boyne Mountain. All three are pretty similar in size and can easily accommodate all levels of skiers and snowboarders. For those who are not as experienced, there are also lessons and rentals available at each of the resorts.
