How well Bobcat holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing southeast at an average 8°, Bobcat gets about 111% of the winter sun that flat ground at Whiteface Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 81% of the runs we've measured, and the 38th sunniest named run at Whiteface Mountain. Its top sits at 1,720 feet.

Angled toward the low winter sun, it bakes: powder turns heavy soon after a storm, and in spring it softens early in the day and refreezes hard overnight. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
