Double black Mount Bohemia, MI
Smiling Zombie drops 177 vertical feet over 719 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 27° about 590 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 north.
Facing north at an average 15°, Smiling Zombie gets about 56% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mount Bohemia does, December through March. That's shadier than 89% of the runs we've measured, and the 3rd shadiest named run at Mount Bohemia. Its top sits at 1,440 feet.
Shaded snow stays colder and drier, so it holds powder longer after a storm and is slower to crust over or turn to slush in spring. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
