Venture to a ski area that is like an 80’s punk band… raw, loud, and gritty!
After a refreshing night of sleep, you’re up early and headed to your destination: Mt. Bohemia. Pulling into the parking lot, finding a spot is easy. Silence the engine, open the door, and the first thing you notice is the rawness of this place. Mt. Bohemia has one rule: no grooming. PERIOD. Trees, massive cliffs, and untracked lines await. If it looks rideable, it’s fair game.
Why visit Mount Bohemia?
- Deep Powder
- No crowds
- Only Cat Skiing Operation east of the Mississippi
- Steeps that would challenge a lot of Resorts out West
It’s the Midwest, How Much Can it Snow Really?
Surrounded by Lake Superior, this mountain gets slammed with more lake effect than anywhere else in the “UP.” While skiers elsewhere wait for storms to roll in, Mt. Bohemia sees snow consistently, light, dry, and stacking up fast. The mountain averages 270 inches over just four months, while Western resorts often see that amount spread over six. It’s not unusual for it to snow 30 days straight. Thirty. Straight. If you’re a powder junkie, this is heaven.
