Snowboarding Mount Bohemia!

Lac Labelle (frozen) and Lake Superior in the background


Well 2016 has started out the right way! A few weeks ago, a good friend of mine told me about his dream to snowboard Mount Bohemia in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan--what?-- where??? Of course I had been to the UP but I had never heard of Mount Bohemia. The lack of snow had kept Bohemia closed until January 16, but last week they had been getting hammered with snow so we decided to hit it-- and it was worth the nearly 7 hour drive from Milwaukee each way.



Driving in from Bohemia to Copper Harbor

We left Milwaukee late afternoon and as we got closer to the Pine Lodge resort in Copper Harbor, this is what the roads looked like!



greeted with warmth!

Pine lodge resort is a little dated but had reasonable rates and was a decent place to stay-- also they served a good breakfast!




           The next morning we were greeted with 5 inches of fresh snow and a perfect sunny day! Give        yourself about 30 minutes to drive from Copper Harbor to Bohemia.

Beautiful winter landscapes

The photos are great but please check out my you tube video at the link below to really do the resort some justice. This is an expert only resort--no groomed runs, but well worth the trip!!!       https://youtu.be/nU2JswfhHkY
