LONIE GLIEBERMAN: We're just not getting Arctic air coming down from Canada. WANSCHURA: Resort President Lonie Glieberman says they're down about 100 inches of snow compared to last year. ROYAL: It's really, really hard for a father to tell his son that we can't go on a trip and not because of, we'll say, financial, but because Mother Nature is not cooperating. But when mid-January rolled around, there was no trip to plan because there wasn't enough snow. This year, Royal planned a trip to the resort with his 10-year-old son, Tyler (ph). He loves the tight glade runs, steeper terrain and fresh, unground trails. WANSCHURA: That's John Royal (ph), an avid skier who's been making trips up to Mount Bohemia for the past decade. It doesn't really compare to other resorts. JOHN ROYAL: It really sets itself apart, honestly. Some say it's the best skiing this side of the Rockies. Getting more than 300 inches of fresh powder during the winter isn't uncommon in this part of the UP. And you can ski between old-growth maple and pine trees covered with snow. It sits on land that juts out into Lake Superior. Here's Dan Wanschura from Interlochen Public Radio.ĭANIEL WANSCHURA, BYLINE: Mount Bohemia is a small ski resort in the very northern tip of Michigan's Upper Peninsula. That's been going on for a while, the result of a warming climate. But the areas around the Great Lakes didn't get that famous lake-effect snow. Over the weekend, a big snowstorm hit the Midwest and the East Coast.
