CiesaDesign Helps Boyne Celebrate 60th
The Boyne Mountain Ski Resort celebrated its 60th Anniversary in 2008. CiesaDesign was honored to design a commemorative book to mark the occasion.
With Everett Kircher, a snow-obsessed skier from Detroit, leading the way at Boyne, the story is always interesting. Many assumed that he knew what he was doing when he started the Boyne Ski Club in 1948 but that wasn't the case. The ski club was started with a couple of friends on a lark. Everett didn't ever dream that it could be his life's work. He just followed his passion and took chances, moving forward all the time.
And Midwestern skiers weren't in a position to be at the forefront of alpine skiing. They were relegated to using tow-ropes at whatever nearby hill they could find. But instead of being cast aside as a small-time ski club, Boyne Mountain took on the persona of the most modern ski mecca of the times. The greatest skiers, Stein Eriksen and Othmar Schneider, directed the ski school; the latest innovations were unveiled at Boyne; and Boyne skiers were known wherever they went because they were proficient in the most modern ski techniques. It was an exciting time to be a skier at Boyne and the cast of characters that spent their weekends skiing at Boyne Mountain during the heyday have left behind a wonderful legacy of fun.
