LMM drops 207 vertical feet over 889 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 19° about 400 feet below the top. That's steeper than 5% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 117th steepest of 127 named runs at Snowbasin. It faces north.

How well LMM holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing north at an average 14°, LMM gets about 73% of the winter sun that flat ground at Snowbasin does, December through March. That's shadier than 67% of the runs we've measured, and the 29th shadiest named run at Snowbasin. Its top sits at 7,780 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.
