How well Cat-Track holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northwest at an average 9°, Cat-Track gets about 76% of the winter sun that flat ground at Wildcat Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 61% of the runs we've measured, and the 45th shadiest named run at Wildcat Mountain. Its top sits at 3,290 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.
