Black diamond Wildcat Mountain, NH
Lynx Lair drops 73 vertical feet over 282 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 24° about 140 feet below the top. That's steeper than 19% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 17th steepest of 49 named runs at Wildcat Mountain. It faces northwest.
Facing northwest at an average 15°, Lynx Lair gets about 66% of the winter sun that flat ground at Wildcat Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 77% of the runs we've measured, and the 23rd shadiest named run at Wildcat Mountain. Its top sits at 3,910 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.
