Skiing has long been a favorite event of outdoor enthusiasts in the Upper Peninsula, so it's no surprise that other ski fans are starting to take note of the great hills and areas we have to offer, such as Mt. Bohemia on the Keweenaw Peninsula.

Two intermediate trails wind from the top of the mountain. Otherwise, all runs are black diamond or even more difficult.
My run at the moment — the triple-black-diamond-rated "Slide Path" — cuts a white swath through a prow of rock on Bohemia's front face. Murphy, a skier from Appleton, Wis., who I'd met on a chairlift ride, is somewhere below and out of sight.
