Double black Lutsen Mountains, MN
Adrenaline drops 239 vertical feet over 656 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 32° about 140 feet below the top. That's steeper than 33% of the 2,251 double black runs we've measured in North America, and the 3rd steepest of 87 named runs at Lutsen Mountains. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 22°, Adrenaline gets about 46% of the winter sun that flat ground at Lutsen Mountains does, December through March. That's shadier than 95% of the runs we've measured, and the shadiest named run at Lutsen Mountains. Its top sits at 1,600 feet.
Shaded snow stays colder and drier, so it holds powder longer after a storm and is slower to crust over or turn to slush in spring. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
