Black diamond Lutsen Mountains, MN
Manitou Bowl drops 167 vertical feet over 718 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 21° about 680 feet below the top. That's steeper than 9% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 44th steepest of 87 named runs at Lutsen Mountains. It faces west.
Facing west at an average 14°, Manitou Bowl gets about 80% of the winter sun that flat ground at Lutsen Mountains does, December through March. That's shadier than 55% of the runs we've measured, and the 9th shadiest named run at Lutsen Mountains. Its top sits at 1,630 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.
