How well Antler Alley holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing southeast at an average 10°, Antler Alley gets about 123% of the winter sun that flat ground at Lutsen Mountains does, December through March. That's sunnier than 89% of the runs we've measured, and the 33rd sunniest named run at Lutsen Mountains. Its top sits at 1,100 feet.

Angled toward the low winter sun, it bakes: powder turns heavy soon after a storm, and in spring it softens early in the day and refreezes hard overnight. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
