Snowflake Lounge

This is where all the skiers partied back in the day. It was even made into a verb – snowflaking. “We’re snowflaking at 5 tonight. See you there after skiing!” Après-Ski (pronounced AH-PRAY SKI) is a popular European post-skiing tradition of music and late-night partying; in English it means After Ski. The Trophy Room Pub & Pizzaria first, then the Snowflake Loungeis where that happened at Boyne Mountain. One of the quotes from Boyne: People History Memories describes the Snowflake Lounge atmosphere succinctly. “I remember this man who was sent up to Boyne Mountain to unwind since his doctor said he was on the verge of a nervous breakdown. He had a single room right next to the Snowflake. After a few nights of loud music and late parties he finally decided, “if you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em,” and he came right into the Snowflake in his pajamas.”

🏃Walk back down the stairs. RESTROOMS are located here if you need them. Turn the opposite way from the restaurant and continue down the hall, past all the lodging rooms and out the double doors into the Boynehof Lodge parking lot. Walk around through the right side of the parking lot until you can see the front of the Boynehof Lodge.
