SKI & SNOWBOARD TRAILS & ROUTES

General	Harbor Springs is the grand dame of northwest Michigan's "Gold Coast," where the Midwest's oldest families have vacationed for generations. On the shore of Little Traverse Bay, Harbor Springs is a truly special location: protected, affluent, and sophisticated, this is a locale small enough for privacy, yet evocative of larger cosmopolitan venues. Excellent schools, word-class shopping and dining, plus varied cultural activities make Harbor Springs an award-winning community. Boyne USA is the largest family owned resort operation in North America. Our love of the sport runs as deep as our powder. Founded by one of the 100 most influential skiers of the 20th Century - Everett Kircher, our ski areas encompass some of the most beautiful terrain available across the continent. We are dedicated to creating memorable experiences for all levels of ability. Coming from Chicago using US-131 North Follow I-90 out of Chicago (towards the Indiana Toll Road). After about 28 miles, merge onto I-94 E via exit number 21 (towards DETROIT). Then after about 64 miles, merge onto I-196 N via exit number 34 (towards HOLLAND/GD RAPIDS), 77 miles. Merge onto US-131 N, 91 miles. Follow US-131 N the rest of the way past Boyne Mountain, onto Petoskey and then Harbor Springs as mentioned above. US-131 will merge with MI-66 for a short while as you near Kalkaska but continue straight through (North). Using Gaylord Exit off of I-75 North (Exit 282): Take the M-32 exit, exit #282, toward Gaylord/Alpena. Turn left (west) onto M-32 and continue for 13 miles. Once you reach US-131, turn right (north) and continue for 15 miles passing Boyne Mountain along the way. Once in Petoskey, head straight as US-131 turns into US-31. After about 3 miles, turn left at the intersection of US-31 and M-119. After another 3 miles on M-119, turn right (north) at the intersection of M-119 and Pleasantview Rd. Keeping an eye out for Teddy Griffin's Road House on the left (3 miles), turn left at Teddy's onto Highland Rd. The entrance will be less than a mile down on the right.
Skiing	The best of the Midwest awaits you at "the Highlands". Expertly groomed winding slopes and our acclaimed International Snowsports School make the fun pleasantly accessible to new enthusiasts and families alike. The thrill seeker will enjoy the Midwest's most vertical, longest runs, steepest run-The Couloir and our terrain park. Available non-stop 9 am-9 pm Wednesday through Saturday until March 16th.
Snowshoeing	40k of groomed trails provide a wooded and secluded escape for cross-country skiing or snowshoeing.
