Blue Ski Mystic Deer Mountain, SD
Cat Track drops 117 vertical feet over 527 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 19° about 400 feet below the top. That's steeper than 30% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 26th steepest of 52 named runs at Ski Mystic Deer Mountain. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 13°, Cat Track gets about 92% of the winter sun that flat ground at Ski Mystic Deer Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 63% of the runs we've measured, and the 29th sunniest named run at Ski Mystic Deer Mountain. Its top sits at 6,590 feet.
With little slope to hide behind, it takes nearly the full winter sun of open ground: powder settles and turns heavy sooner after a storm, and spring snow softens early. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
