for all of you skeptical about boyne's park and pipe check out http://www.boynemountain.com/bm_fr_ss_bmtp.htm

also check out rideboyne.com. This site looks like they are just starting to put it together, but all of this is a step in the right direction for boyne. It appears that the super pipe is on north boyne. I hope they relocate their park over there too, since ramshead is full of beginners and is flat. Now if boyne does all this they just need to learn that they need to maintain it too.
 
when will that pipe be open? a few of us from ohio are thinking about coming up for the first day of that pipe.
 
wagner and crawford are in charge of the parks this season and they're both ill, boyne highlands will have the 13' foot pipe and the mountain will have the countries longest pipe, so i hear. i think the 13' will be your best bet until they get a hang of it, but i'm not positive and it really depends on weather
 
~Boyne Mountain~

North Boyne Park Home to the biggest hits, rails, and funboxes at the Mountain and you can hit it all off the high-speed six-pack. The top half of the run and the entire north side are covered with multiple hits and The Bowl Rail Yard houses the Mountain's more difficult rails. Boyne's new superpipe occupies the south side and holds the honor of being the longest superpipe in North America at over 700' long. If you're at the top of the game, this is the park to throw down in.

Ramshead Park This is the place to build up your skillz before you head to the North Boyne Park. The smaller features allow you to put some air under you without the need for purchasing a clean pair of long undies afterwards. The rails in here are lower to the ground and the boxes have more width.

~Boyne Highlands~

Funland The first park in the progression at the Highlands, this is perfect for first time park riders. It has small rollers, boxes, and entry-level rails. If you have never tried a rail or jump, head to this area for your first taste of the park.

Heather Rail Yard Right off the top of the high-speed quad, you can hit this series of rails. They are more advanced than what you find in Funland and a good stepping-stone before you hit the big daddies.

Challenger Park With a facelift this season, this park still offers great medium to large sized hits, but has gotten a little love to improve the flow and feel. A few rails and a great line of tables with multiple takeoffs cover the north side while the new 13' Zaugg halfpipe sits on the south side. This is the next step after you master Funland and the Heather Rail Yard.

McGully Park If you got the skillz and you got the steeze, hit up McGully for tricked out rails and big tables. This is not a park for beginners. With a flowing slopestyle feel and a couple massive kickers at the finish, it is the pinnacle park at the Highlands. Bring you're A-Game. Only venture here when you have perfected your style in the other parks.

I have got my fingers crossed.
 
The pipe is not cut out of dirt though. They just used banks to help limit the snow you need for the base. There will still be a good 10 feet of snow before any dirt on the walls. Thats why the angle is only like 45 degrees.

yeah. most ski areas are doing a lot of earth moving and getting a dirt ditch. It takes sooooo much less snow.
 
the only pipe i'll be riding at boyne this year is on the indoor wave machine. boomshakalaka!

but seriously... i enjoy nubs pipe, and it's tow rope access
