Boyne Highlands – 2nd Annual Vintage Shred – March 1, 2014

Dust off your favorite old school snowboard and pull out your vintage gear for a celebration of an era gone by. Come celebrate the 2nd Annual Vintage Shred at Boyne Highlands Resort on Saturday, March 1, 2014. This fun filled “shred-fest” will include a banked slalom course, method-air competition and vintage free-ride. Prizes will be awarded as part of the competitions as well as for the best vintage outfits.

All are welcome to attend, but snowboards should be 1991 or earlier to compete. We learned last year that vintage bindings don’t age quite as well as boards, so we aren’t too picky about these!
After a day on the slopes the fun will move indoors for a legendary Zoo Bar party featuring the sounds of 80s rock band Starfarm. Starfarm will bring the most awesome collection of 80s songs you can dream of.

Weekend packages are available. Call 800.462.6963 or visit BOYNE Reservations.
