Green Wildcat Mountain, NH
Middle Polecat drops 604 vertical feet over 4,067 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 16° about 1,000 feet below the top. That's steeper than 60% of the 3,109 green runs we've measured in North America, and the 45th steepest of 49 named runs at Wildcat Mountain. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 9°, Middle Polecat gets about 69% of the winter sun that flat ground at Wildcat Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 72% of the runs we've measured, and the 30th shadiest named run at Wildcat Mountain. Its top sits at 3,020 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.
