I just skied Bohemia for the first time.
They have around 200” of snow for the season, so coverage is great.
We had about 8” of fresh snow Saturday morning and a huge lift line during the middle of the day. It wasn’t crowded on the hill, just at the main lift (which serves 90% of all terrain). Underneath the fresh snow you were scraping on nasty grey ice in many spots.
Super Bowl Sunday saw a deserted mountain, skied right up to the lift almost every run. 2” of fresh and less ice made for great skiing in different sections of the hill during the day.
Skied my first ever “triple black diamond”.
In case you are not that extreme, and are wondering, it looks a lot like a gladed tree run on the same slope as a black diamond groomer.
Seriously though,their trail ratings are not only inflated, they don’t even offer any indication of the
relative difficulty of runs.
The trail map is also deceptive, in that it looks like there are quite a few more cleared, open runs then there are. In reality, there are about 4 on the skiers right and 3 on skiers left, and a catwalk curving around the backside. I’m not complaining, because the glade skiing is great, it’s just strange how the map looks so different.
Surprisingly, the open runs, despite getting good snow and no grooming, did not have moguls, other than some localized bumps around a steeper outcropping
Putting that aside, it is a super fun Mountain. Opportunities for air are all around, and almost the entire hill is gladed out and skiable.
If it is clear, the view is fantastic too. And of course the huge (for the Midwest) snowfall.
I will definitely be back, but will check to make sure I avoid a refreeze after a melt period.
