Blue Pine Mountain, MI
Boomerang drops 182 vertical feet over 971 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 16° about 150 feet below the top. That's steeper than 17% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 10th steepest of 33 named runs at Pine Mountain. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 11°, Boomerang gets about 74% of the winter sun that flat ground at Pine Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 64% of the runs we've measured, and the 12th shadiest named run at Pine Mountain. Its top sits at 1,520 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.
