This is a ski/snowboard mountain in the top of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. From school in Kalamazoo, MI, it takes our group 13 hours to drive to Mt. Bohemia. Judging by last year's experience, this year is going to be an awesome time. Ten of us ventured to Mt. Bohemia for the first time last year and we weren't sure what to expect. On one day a year, you can buy a lift pass for $99. Based on the price, we weren't sure how the trip was going to be. Also, none of us had ever even seen a yurt so we weren't sure what to expect with that.
When we got there our expectations were met and exceeded. The snow didn't stop until the third day we were there and the mountain was never icy, which is happens frequently on most ski hills in Michigan. This year we are taking a group of 20 people and we have the first two yurts reserved. The concept of their yurts is pretty great. Four of them are positioned on the hill. When we wanted to head out in the morning, all we had to do was strap in and ride to the lift from the front steps of our yurt. With only two lifts and nearly as many runs without trees, the back country is more fun than any of us could have thought. There is a short bus that drives around the base of the mountain to take riders back to the lifts when they ride past them on the back runs. If you enjoy skiing or snowboarding, I definitely recommend a trip to Mt. Bohemia.
