Avalanche Mountain Named #1 Sledding Hill in State
Posted on Sep 22nd, 2010
MICHIGAN BLUE, Michigan's Lakestyle magazine has picked Boyne City's Avalanche Mountain as the top sledding hill in the state. Travel writer Jim DuFresne wrote in the magazine's Winter issue: "In the 1950s Avalanche Peak was a downhill ski area complete with a chairlift. Today it's our choice as the number one sledding hill in the state. The observation deck at the top is reached by a climb of 462 steps, but we've yet see anybody begin from there. Most kids haul their sled only halfway up to the peak and still have trouble making it down right-side up."
