Blue Boyne Mountain, MI
Pat's Knob drops 112 vertical feet over 715 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 20° about 270 feet below the top. That's steeper than 43% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 18th steepest of 61 named runs at Boyne Mountain. It faces west.
Facing west at an average 9°, Pat's Knob gets about 105% of the winter sun that flat ground at Boyne Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 76% of the runs we've measured, and the 9th sunniest named run at Boyne Mountain. Its top sits at 980 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.
