Mount Bohemia

Mount Bohemia (Coordinates: 47°23′30.11″N 88°0′48.88″W / 47.3916972°N 88.0135778°W / 47.3916972; -88.0135778Coordinates: 47°23′30.11″N 88°0′48.88″W / 47.3916972°N 88.0135778°W / 47.3916972; -88.0135778) is a ski resort located at the northern most portion of the Keweenaw Peninsula in Mohawk, Michigan. Mount Bohemia operates two chairlifts, and offers the second-highest vertical drop in the Midwest after Lutsen Mountains, located in the Sawtooth Mountains of northern Minnesota. The resort has 95 runs and first opened for business in 2000.

Mount Bohemia does not operate any snow making equipment and relies on its 250 to 300 inch year average of lake effect snow, the most seen at any resort in the Midwest.[1] Because runs are not groomed, Mount Bohemia is not an appropriate resort for beginners. It offers mostly black diamonds, as well as double and even triple black diamond runs.
