Boyne Highlands – Winter Operations, What To Expect

We know this winter will look a little bit different at Boyne Highlands, and you’ll notice that we’ve made changes around the resort with guidance from the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and recommendations from the state and local health department. Our goal is to do our best in ensuring the safety of our guests, staff, and the community.

Cleaning – Enhanced Cleaning, Resort Wide

Face Masks – Plus Social Distancing

Less Contact – Contactless Transactions

FACE COVERINGS REQUIRED

Guests ages 5+ and all resort team members must wear an adequate face covering while at Boyne Highlands Resort. This requirement applies at all times in indoor public areas (lobbies, hallways, restrooms, restaurants, shops). This requirement also applies in all outdoor areas where a minimum 6 foot distance from others cannot be maintained.

Our team members are continuously updated and trained on the evolving standards and practices we are upholding to provide safety and enjoyment during your visit. We ask that you too help in ensuring safety for all by mindfully adhering to our requirements, following guidance provided by our team members, and observing signage when visiting Boyne Highlands Resort.

When dining at Boyne Highlands Resort or vising any venue serving food and/or beverages, a face covering must be worn at all times except when actually eating or drinking. This includes while being seated, when ordering, and upon departure.

When golfing at Boyne Highlands Resort, a face covering must be worn in the arrival/cart check-in area and golf shop, when interacting with any golf course personnel, and when visiting with any guests not in the group with whom you checked in. If distanced at least 6 feet from others, face coverings are not required while on the course or driving range.

When visiting The Spa at Boyne Highlands, a face covering must be worn in all areas of the facility including lobby, relaxation and locker areas, and treatment rooms. A face covering may be removed when face down during a massage and during facial or wet treatments.

When biking at Boyne Highlands Resort and in areas where distancing six or more feet isn’t possible, face coverings are required. Due to chin bars providing very limited coverage, a full-face biking helmet does not suffice as a face covering. An adequate face covering must be worn with such helmets.

A face covering must be worn in the resort village/base areas when unable to maintain a distance of six or more feet from anyone outside of your family/party.

A face covering must be worn at all times while waiting to load a chairlift, and in the loading and unloading areas.

When participating in activities such as hiking at Boyne Highlands Resort, a face covering must be worn in the check-in area and anywhere a distance of at least 6 feet from others cannot be maintained.
