I have rented from Boyne Highlands once in the 7 years that I have lived right across the street. It was the worst experience ever. I get treated better walking into Wal-Mart. It was my first time snowboarding. When I walked in I filled out the rental form and waited for probably 10 minutes before being helped. Even though I was the only one in the building at the time. I presented with my boots dropped at my feet and the board behind me on the bench with no idea how to put the boots on and how to attach the board to my feet. It was a horrible horrible experience and I will be going to Nubs Nob for the remainder of my Ski/Snowboard career. I would highly recommend the rental department at Nubs Nob over Boyne's.

Compared to Boyne Mountain, BH is maybe a bit more intermediate, but has the same quality snow, lifts, service and variety as the mountain. hills have a nice steady pitch to them. Olympic, Challenger, Rob Roy-wide and panoramic. you'll never be unhappy at boyne highlands---only one thing--the ride on the interconnect triple is long on cold days, but considering the slopes at the end of the chair, it's worth it! beginner area perfect for those learning.

Stayed at the resort 1/03/07 - 1/04/07. There is no snow in Michigan at that time, but they had man made and they said that it was good skiing. Not true. The snow had the consistance of a snow cone, was very slushy and heavy. Only a few runs were open. Had to walk through mud to get to the snow. I had made the reservations in December when there was snow. Boyne refused to cancel and was going to keep $200 if we cancelled due to the poor conditions. So we went and had a lousy time.

Sometimes considered the little brother to Boyne Mountain, this resort is money. I love BH. Hardly any lines, great jumps and rails. A great place to ride. It is definetely worth the extra drive past BM.

A Bonus is this, you can get a pass for both BH and BM. Stop at BH for the day and hit BM for the late afternoon on your drive back south.

Looking for a place where the lines are short and the locals are real? Ride Boyne Highlands.
