Blue Boyne Mountain, MI
Pierson drops 134 vertical feet over 905 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 15° about 880 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 east.
Facing east at an average 9°, Pierson gets about 104% of the winter sun that flat ground at Boyne Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 75% of the runs we've measured, and the 10th sunniest named run at Boyne Mountain. Its top sits at 1,150 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.
