Valley - 1990 Riblet Triple | boyne.highlands, MI

Notes: Originally installed at Boyne Highlands as Heather in 1963. This lift and the Little John lift (also at Highlands) were the world’s first triple chairlifts. Riblet built them as a special request from Boyne founder Everett Kircher, who wanted to be able to ride up the mountain with his wife and son. Little John was reinstalled at Highlands as Interconnect in 1992. (Note: one of my previous posts incorrectly identified another pair of triple lifts at Highlands as the world’s first triples. That post has been corrected.) Sources:

Day 12: You know the next morning is going to be 🔥 when... Word broke early that northern Michigan was about to get nuked, so we quickly packed the Jeep and chased the pow for Day 12 on snow

Additional Info: Replaced one of the world’s first two triple chairlifts. The original Heather was reinstalled in a different spot at Highlands as Valley the same year.

Snowboarding to plein air location! nubsnob Race League. Some were surprised to see an artist at work!🤣 One said “it was crazy” and a younger artist said “I would have never thought to do this!” Focus on the positive and create your own adventures! #pleinairmagazine#pleinairmag#nubsnob#harborsprings#boynehighlands#boynemountain#nocturne#nocturnepainting#burtonsnowboards#snowboarding#nubsnobracing#petoskey#artistoninstgram#oilpaintings#plein_air_life#nomi ...

You can’t buy happiness..but you can buy a lift ticket and that’s basically the same thing 🎿

Another weekend on the horizon and I can’t wait to check another puremichigan ski resort off our bucket list ✅ We’re heading to caberfaepeaks for lots of fresh pow and my first time night skiing ⛷ These Michigan temps are supposed to be cold cold 🥶 but we’re bundling up and making the best of it!

We also have a fun adventure planned in saugatuckdouglas on our way back home. Hint: ❄️🥾🍎🍷🔥

Are you getting outside or staying cozy indoors?
