Boyne Mountain – Snowboarding and Terrain Parks


We could rest our laurels on our spectacular North McLouth Terrain Park, but with six other sweet terrain parks and more than 30 features to try, our regulars know: there’s plenty of variety to always find a creative line and a new challenge.

Pack up your gear and head our way – and you’ll have the chance to try our Chmielew-ski Skier/Boardercross Course in the Disciples area, session some rail and jib features in the Ramshead Terrain Park, expand on your bag of tricks in Fritz’s Progression Park, test your skills in the new Campbell’s Alley Terrain Park, and don’t forget, the Transfer Station, our “natural” terrain park where the elements are part of the landscape.

And if you’re just starting out, our Burton Riglet Park provides the perfect introduction.
