How well Middle wildcat holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing northwest at an average 14°, Middle wildcat gets about 60% of the winter sun that flat ground at Wildcat Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 85% of the runs we've measured, and the 11th shadiest named run at Wildcat Mountain. Its top sits at 3,050 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.
