How well Lumberjack holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing north at an average 10°, Lumberjack gets about 74% of the winter sun that flat ground at Northstar does, December through March. That's shadier than 64% of the runs we've measured, and the 32nd shadiest named run at Northstar. Its top sits at 7,680 feet.

Shaded snow stays colder and drier, so it holds powder longer after a storm and is slower to crust over or turn to slush in spring. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
