Cheetah drops 640 vertical feet over 2,393 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 25° about 120 feet below the top. That's steeper than 74% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 15th steepest of 49 named runs at Wildcat Mountain. It faces north.

How well Cheetah holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing north at an average 16°, Cheetah gets about 57% of the winter sun that flat ground at Wildcat Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 87% of the runs we've measured, and the 4th shadiest named run at Wildcat Mountain. Its top sits at 2,680 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.
