Hemingway drops 217 vertical feet over 2,416 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 12° about 1,800 feet below the top. That's steeper than 35% of the 3,109 green runs we've measured in North America, and the 47th steepest of 61 named runs at Boyne Mountain. It faces northeast.

How well Hemingway holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing northeast at an average 5°, Hemingway gets about 92% of the winter sun that flat ground at Boyne Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 63% of the runs we've measured, and the 23rd sunniest named run at Boyne Mountain. Its top sits at 1,010 feet.

With little slope to hide behind, it takes nearly the full winter sun of open ground: powder settles and turns heavy sooner after a storm, and spring snow softens early. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
