Thanksgiving and runs until St. Patricks Day, Rader says. “We don’t have <strong>the</strong> altitude, but we’re fur<strong>the</strong>r north, so it’s colder.” Although <strong>the</strong> vertical drop doesn’t rival <strong>the</strong> big mountains of <strong>the</strong> <strong>West</strong>, <strong>the</strong> convenience and four-season versatility of <strong>the</strong> resort more than make up for it. “There’s so much to do here,” says Glenn Hitchcock, who owns an engineering firm in <strong>the</strong> Detroit area. “With skiing, golf, <strong>the</strong> water park, boating and tennis, it’s truly a year-round experience.” All owners at Boyne properties receive a membership to <strong>the</strong> Country Club of Boyne, which affords discounts on all Boyne amenities (including <strong>the</strong> 88,000-square-foot Avalanche Bay indoor water park) and <strong>the</strong> club’s two golf courses. The Monument Course is a composite of dramatic and challenging golf holes of widely varying character, reflecting <strong>the</strong> distinct design philosophies of such noted architects as Donald Ross, Robert Trent Jones, George Fazio, and Pete Dye. And when you’re ready to take your skiing prowess to bigger slopes, owners can exchange through Boyne Vacation Club to sister resorts at Big Sky, Montana; Brighton Resort in Utah; <strong>the</strong> Summit at Snoqualmie in Washington, and Cypress Mountain near Vancouver, British Columbia, <strong>the</strong> official freestyle skiing and snowboard venue for <strong>the</strong> 2010 Olympic Winter Games. = Details • CREEKSIDE AT BOYNE MOUNTAIN Boyne Falls, Michigan.....................................................(231) 549-6090 www.boynerealty.com • EQUITY ESTATES Atlanta, Georgia................................................................(404) 531-8982 www.equityestatesfund.com • ONE SKI HILL PLACE Breckenridge, Colorado ..................................................(888) 652-9120 www.oneskihillplace.com • RESORTS WEST Park City, Utah...................................................................(435) 655-7006 www.resortswest.com • RITZ CARLTON CLUB, LAKE TAHOE Truckee, California...........................................................(407) 345-6150 www.ritzcarltondestinationclub.com • TRAILHEAD LODGE AT WILD HORSE MEADOWS Steamboat Springs, Colorado .......................................(877) 886-7772 www.wildhorsemeadows.com Holiday Issue 2009 • = • 57
