2012 Chef's Challenge at Boyne Mountain via Instagram
Absolute Michigan was fortunate enough to be able to attend the 2012 Chef's Challenge at Boyne Mountain last weekend. This annual event benefits Challenge Mountain, a nonprofit organization dedicated to enriching and improving lives for the mentally and physically challenged through outdoor recreation.

Carnival Weekend at Boyne
Mardi Gras meets Boyne Mountain this weekend (March 16-18) for their annual Carnival Weekend. The weekend is a Boyne tradition that allows you to kick off spring fever in costume with an on-hill cookout and party featuring live music and crazy races. A highlight is the Slush Cup, which pits skiers and snowboarders against a big pool of water. Click through for more including some great video!
