How well Timberwolf holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing southeast at an average 13°, Timberwolf gets about 125% of the winter sun that flat ground at Lutsen Mountains does, December through March. That's sunnier than 90% of the runs we've measured, and the 29th sunniest named run at Lutsen Mountains. Its top sits at 1,690 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.
