This winter, outside is definitely in. And the Petoskey Area is the place to be! This is where you’ll find clean air, fresh snow and open spaces for as far as the eye can see. Better yet, no matter what snowsport you like best, you’ll find it here. No wonder it’s called Michigan’s Winter Funland.

Of course, this winter is a little different than winters past. And while we want you to have tons of fun, we also want you to be safe. So, while skiing, snowmobiling, ziplining and other snowsports will be as enjoyable as ever, we’ve made some changes to both outdoor and indoor activities to meet guidance from the CDC (Center for Disease Control & Prevention) and state and local health departments. Please go to Boyne Highlands, Nub’s Nob, or Boyne Mountain for more information on what to expect at the ski areas.

Now, let’s go outside and play! No place else in Michigan offers so much winter fun.
