The group purchased the site for $1(!) in 1948 from Michigan Senator William Pierson and opened it as a ski resort in 1949. Read more on the change curve here.

In the last few days, they’ve received 73cms (we’ve received a lot too in the past couple of days!!).

This week’s Boyne Basic focusses on ‘L’ – Long Term Thinking. Created by our sister resort Gatlinburg SkyPark, located in Gatlinburg Tennessee, USA. Everett Kircher (founder of Boyne Resorts) was approached in 1953 about opening an attraction in the Smokey mountains. He bought a chairlift in California, transported it to his home state of Michigan, re-engineered it and then had it moved to Gatlinburg. He opened the 1st chairlift in the South in 1954. Since then, it has been one of the most popular attractions in Gatlinburg. The chairlift is now 4th generation and most recently replaced in 2017. The suspension bridge at the top is decorated throughout the year – have a look at their Valentine’s lights called the ‘Tunnel of Love’. Check out the articles from the slide here; 1, 2, 3.
