How well Midway holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northwest at an average 16°, Midway gets about 68% of the winter sun that flat ground at Wildcat Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 74% of the runs we've measured, and the 28th shadiest named run at Wildcat Mountain. Its top sits at 2,860 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.
