HARBOR SPRINGS -- Think soaring up a mountain on a chairlift is a thrill? How about flying from the top of a black diamond into a snow-coated valley on a zipline? The activity is among the newest adrenaline-inducing activities at Michigan ski resorts this winter.
Ziplines are being installed at Boyne Mountain in Boyne Falls and Boyne Highlands in Harbor Springs. And when completed sometime around the December holidays, the lines will take 10 to 12 guests at a time soaring through trees and across open valleys in five sections of about 200 to 500 feet each.
The journey takes about two hours to complete. And for a new, closer-to-the-ground winter adventure, there's horseback riding, being extended through winter at Boyne Highlands across many acres of trails dedicated exclusively to horses and riders.
Across the state, resort visitors will find a growing number of non-ski and snowboarding fun as well as improvements to snowmaking, terrain parks, lodging, lesson programs and more this winter.
