2012 info coming soon…..  Following are details from last year’s event.

Suds and snow.  Is there a better combination?  Our second annual Brew-Ski Festival features 100+ craft brews, entertainment and an evening of parties.  We’ll pitch a big ole’ tent at the base of the slopes where you and friends can gather and sample a variety of craft brews.

The frothy samples are served up by brewery representatives while you enjoy music, brats and spring conditions.  The tent opens at noon to those ages 21 and older and admission is free.  Tickets can be purchased for $2 and samples are four-ounce pours.

Following the outdoor fun, head inside for a party in the legendary Zoo Bar with live music by the Aaron Vaughn Band.

A special weekend package including two nights hotel lodging, breakfast daily, two day lift tickets, Friday night hors d’oeuvres reception, t-shirt, commemorative mug and 5 drink tickets starts at $233 per person.  For reservations, please call 800.GO.BOYNE (462-6963).

T-shirts and logo pint glasses will also be available for purchase at the tent.
