How well Lower Hari Kari holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing west at an average 17°, Lower Hari Kari gets about 83% of the winter sun that flat ground at Lutsen Mountains does, December through March. That's shadier than 50% of the runs we've measured, and the 13th shadiest named run at Lutsen Mountains. Its top sits at 1,480 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.
