Double black Mount Bohemia, MI
Helm's Deep drops 157 vertical feet over 762 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 20° about 180 feet below the top. That's steeper than 6% of the 2,251 double black runs we've measured in North America, and the 91st steepest of 125 named runs at Mount Bohemia. It faces south.
Facing south at an average 12°, Helm's Deep gets about 140% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mount Bohemia does, December through March. That's sunnier than 96% of the runs we've measured, and the 43rd sunniest named run at Mount Bohemia. Its top sits at 940 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.
