How well Karen's corner holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing southwest at an average 6°, Karen's corner gets about 124% 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 32nd sunniest named run at Lutsen Mountains. Its top sits at 1,330 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.
