A few words on the Snow at Giants Ridge
Giant's Ridge has no detail snow data, but we accept the published average of 85 inches snowfall, due to its location in northern Minnesota.
Giant's Ridge's very cold climate facilitates early season snowmaking, preserves the snow midwinter and it gets less winter rain than most Midwest ski areas. Relatively flat Midwest ski terrain will routinely melt/freeze in warm weather or March sun.
