Warm up the day with your favorite runs when the lifts starting turning at 9 a.m. Boyne Highlands offers 55 trails on 435 skiable acres providing magnificent views and serene slopes for all skill levels.

Brew-Ski Festival runs from noon to 5 p.m. and is staged outdoors at the base of slopes where beer lovers can gather to sample from choice of 150 micro-beers, all prominently displayed on snow bars that encase the festival area.  Numerous favorites on the Michigan craft beer scene including Arcadia Ales, Bell´s Brewery, Jolly Pumpkin, New Holland Brewing Co., and Short´s Brewing Co., are available to try, as are choice beers from across the country.  Admission to the beer tasting area is free; must be at least 21 years of age to enter. Sampling tickets can be purchased for the four-ounce beer tastings, as well as for food and merchandise.
 
New this year, adding to the lively scene is music from the rock group, The Remedee.  Following the outdoor fun, the entertainment continues inside with the Aaron Vaughn Band performing in the famed Zoo Bar.
