Asteroid drops 419 vertical feet over 1,817 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 27° about 1,380 feet below the top. That's steeper than 15% of the 2,251 double black runs we've measured in North America, and the 52nd steepest of 125 named runs at Mount Bohemia. It faces southeast.

How well Asteroid holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing southeast at an average 14°, Asteroid gets about 133% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mount Bohemia does, December through March. That's sunnier than 94% of the runs we've measured, and the 59th sunniest named run at Mount Bohemia. Its top sits at 1,070 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.
