How well Leos-Leap holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing north at an average 14°, Leos-Leap gets about 58% 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 7th shadiest named run at Wildcat Mountain. Its top sits at 2,080 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.
