Feline drops 334 vertical feet over 885 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 30° about 610 feet below the top. That's steeper than 54% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 8th steepest of 49 named runs at Wildcat Mountain. It faces northwest.

How well Feline holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing northwest at an average 22°, Feline gets about 64% of the winter sun that flat ground at Wildcat Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 80% of the runs we've measured, and the 20th shadiest named run at Wildcat Mountain. Its top sits at 3,240 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.
