How well Kitty Cat Walk holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing north at an average 2°, Kitty Cat Walk gets about 61% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mt Lemmon does, December through March. That's shadier than 83% of the runs we've measured, and the 9th shadiest named run at Mt Lemmon. Its top sits at 8,460 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.
