Double black Pine Mountain, MI
Bozai drops 211 vertical feet over 929 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 24° about 590 feet below the top. That's steeper than 10% of the 2,251 double black runs we've measured in North America, and the 2nd steepest of 33 named runs at Pine Mountain. It faces northwest.
Facing northwest at an average 13°, Bozai gets about 61% of the winter sun that flat ground at Pine Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 83% of the runs we've measured, and the 2nd shadiest named run at Pine Mountain. Its top sits at 1,410 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.
