Blue Boyne Mountain, MI
Glade drops 90 vertical feet over 542 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 15° about 370 feet below the top. That's steeper than 12% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 35th steepest of 61 named runs at Boyne Mountain. It faces southwest.
Facing southwest at an average 10°, Glade gets about 117% of the winter sun that flat ground at Boyne Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 85% of the runs we've measured, and the 2nd sunniest named run at Boyne Mountain. Its top sits at 1,150 feet.
Angled toward the low winter sun, it bakes: powder turns heavy soon after a storm, and in spring it softens early in the day and refreezes hard overnight. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
