Accounts for resorts' snow quantity, moisture content, latitude, elevation, and slope aspects.
This score accounts for total snow quantity, its moisture content, the resort's latitude, elevation, and its slope aspects, which affect total snow preservation.
Lutsen has no detail snow data, but we accept the published average of 114 inches snowfall, due to its location on the upwind side of Lake Superior.
Accumulation and PreservationLutsen's very cold climate facilitates early season snowmaking, preserves the snow midwinter and it probably gets the least winter rain among Midwest ski areas. Primary exposure is southeast, so melt/freeze conditions will develop in March.
