How well Koo Koo holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing west at an average 17°, Koo Koo gets about 82% of the winter sun that flat ground at Lutsen Mountains does, December through March. That's shadier than 51% of the runs we've measured, and the 12th shadiest named run at Lutsen Mountains. Its top sits at 1,640 feet.

It gets an ordinary dose of sun: powder lasts a typical amount of time, and spring snow softens on a normal schedule. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
