Black diamond Lutsen Mountains, MN
Line of Bull drops 279 vertical feet over 1,258 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 19° about 640 feet below the top. That's steeper than 7% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 54th steepest of 87 named runs at Lutsen Mountains. It faces southeast.
Facing southeast at an average 13°, Line of Bull gets about 127% of the winter sun that flat ground at Lutsen Mountains does, December through March. That's sunnier than 91% of the runs we've measured, and the 23rd sunniest named run at Lutsen Mountains. Its top sits at 1,600 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.
