How well Snowcat Slope holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing north at an average 11°, Snowcat Slope gets about 70% 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 31st shadiest named run at Wildcat Mountain. Its top sits at 2,170 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.
