How well Catnap holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northeast at an average 10°, Catnap gets about 82% of the winter sun that flat ground at Wildcat Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 52% of the runs we've measured, and the 47th shadiest named run at Wildcat Mountain. Its top sits at 3,020 feet.

It gets an ordinary dose of sun: powder lasts a typical amount of time, and spring snow softens on a normal schedule. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
