Lynx-Connection drops 218 vertical feet over 1,073 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 24° about 830 feet below the top. That's steeper than 69% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 19th steepest of 49 named runs at Wildcat Mountain. It faces northwest.
Facing northwest at an average 12°, Lynx-Connection gets about 66% of the winter sun that flat ground at Wildcat Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 78% of the runs we've measured, and the 22nd 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.
