Holiday Photos From Big Powderhorn Mountain

Farewell 2008…
December was good to us with a lot of snow but 2008 is done so now it’s time to see what 2009 has in store for us – it’s off to a great start! We’ve got lots of snow and very good conditions. Our New Years Eve fireworks really launched the new year off with a bang. If winter is being a bit iffy in your part of the world, come and see what it’s like in Big Snow Country.

New Meadows Chairlift at Boyne Mountain

This season (08/09) Boyne Mountain is replacing the Meadows Chairlift with a higher speed, fixed grip, conveyor load lift. This lift not only travels faster than the original, it’s easier to load thanks to a conveyor belt system giving riders a seamless transition from snow to seat. The new lift also extends further down the slope allowing speedy and more convenient access from the day visitor parking lots. (Click on photos to enlarge.)
