Mount Bohemia, Michigan, has cut a new low-angle glade which gives non-expert riders more opportunities to progress in the resort’s otherwise unrelenting terrain. Located in the Keweenaw Peninsula at the northern tip of Michigan, the mountain benefits enormously from nearby Lake Superior. With roughly 260 inches of annual lake-effect snowfall—the most of any Midwestern mountain—Bohemia operates without snowmaking or grooming. This wonderfully preserves the natural, rugged character that defines its expert-only reputation.
This independently owned, workhorse of a mountain is committed to delivering the best possible product at an accessible price. With days included at partner resorts, what many consider the best terrain in the Midwest, and a philosophy centered on maximizing the rider experience—the resort’s $99 season pass feels almost too good to be true. The mountain stands at 900 vertical feet and covers 625 acres, the largest and second largest in the Midwest, respectively. To fully utilize its immensity, Bohemia continues to expand its skiable terrain. Last year brought the addition of a new gladed zone, the Far East; this year, four more glades are getting carved the dense Northwoods forest.
While the resort is unquestionably geared toward expert skiers, Mount Bohemia still works to broaden what’s possible for the intermediate-to-advanced riders who inevitably arrive seeking to push their boundaries. Their newly finished trail, debuting this season, aims to do just that. As the resort described on its Facebook page, “Its low angle makes it a perfect glade for newcomers to Bohemia to try out tree skiing.” These skiers will find the new glade, along with several others, near the lower section of Pirate’s Cove. Bohemia knows its terrain is demanding, and it strives to offer the best possible experience for all who make the journey.
For seasoned skiers—whether Midwestern locals or riders searching for an affordable, unique, and adventure-driven destination—Mount Bohemia is an outstanding option. With ongoing improvements to its infrastructure, lodging, and gladed terrain, each season brings a better product than the last. Mount Bohemia remains a natural paradise for all adventurous skiers.
