How well Timberjack holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing west at an average 10°, Timberjack gets about 111% of the winter sun that flat ground at Lutsen Mountains does, December through March. That's sunnier than 81% of the runs we've measured, and the 63rd sunniest named run at Lutsen Mountains. Its top sits at 1,190 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.
