How well Bobcat holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing north at an average 15°, Bobcat gets about 60% of the winter sun that flat ground at Wildcat Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 84% of the runs we've measured, and the 13th shadiest named run at Wildcat Mountain. Its top sits at 2,700 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.
