Kingdom Come – Schuss Mountain.
Boasting two mountains, Shanty Creek has something for everyone from beginner to experienced skiers and boarders. Schuss Mountain has given Shanty Creek its reputation as the “Best Downhill Terrain in the Midwest.”
When it comes to terrain parks, no Midwestern resort has more to offer than Boyne Highlands. As the popularity of terrain parks has grown, our commitment has grown right along with it – resulting in five exceptional parks, and unparalleled variety for skiers and boarders at every level.
For skiers and riders just starting out, our Burton Riglet Park is the perfect place to get started. For seasoned terrain veterans, our experienced crew has crafted over 30 unique features – including our legendary half-pipe. And for every level in between, our Funland progression park is the ideal place to refine your skills and test your tricks until you graduate to our signature Challenger Terrain Park – or try your skills in the MacGully progression park.

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.
