Catenary drops 574 vertical feet over 2,371 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 23° about 710 feet below the top. That's steeper than 63% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 24th steepest of 49 named runs at Wildcat Mountain. It faces northwest.
Facing northwest at an average 14°, Catenary gets about 70% of the winter sun that flat ground at Wildcat Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 71% of the runs we've measured, and the 34th shadiest named run at Wildcat Mountain. Its top sits at 2,650 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.
