Boyne Highlands Brew Ski!

...
Something very exciting is happening the weekend before St Patrick's Day at Boyne Highlands. Now, I have always heard the stories to be had at Boyne that weekend. Green snow, some yellow snow (stay away from that kind), eccentric fellows on the slopes, and plenty of beer. Sadly, I have never attended. But all that is about to change with the addition of the first annual Brew-ski festival taking place at the mountain Saturday March 13th. The crews will be pitching a tent at the bottom the slopes complete with brats and music, and serving over 100 different beers from over a dozen participants, many Michigan based, and others known nationally. What a better way to take a run, then end it with a different beer every time. Later in the evening the party moves into the priceless Zoo Bar throughout the evening. There is also a friendly competition taking place to win a complete package which includes two nights’ hotel lodging in the Main Lodge at Boyne Highlands Resort for up to two guests (double occupancy) on Friday and Saturday, March 12 and March 13, 2010, breakfast for two daily, two-day lift tickets for two, Friday night hors d’oeuvres reception, two t-shirt’s, two commemorative mugs and 10 drink tickets. The value is $466! You can find the facebook event page here Details are below!

Tickets: $2 a piece for three ounce samples.
