Double black Mount Bohemia, MI
Pick Axe drops 228 vertical feet over 899 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 21° about 540 feet below the top. That's steeper than 6% of the 2,251 double black runs we've measured in North America, and the 86th steepest of 125 named runs at Mount Bohemia. It faces southwest.
Facing southwest at an average 15°, Pick Axe gets about 139% 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 45th sunniest named run at Mount Bohemia. Its top sits at 1,060 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.
