How well Snowcat trail holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northwest at an average 7°, Snowcat trail gets about 83% of the winter sun that flat ground at Wildcat Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 50% of the runs we've measured, and the 48th shadiest named run at Wildcat Mountain. Its top sits at 2,170 feet.

It gets an ordinary dose of sun: powder lasts a typical amount of time, and spring snow softens on a normal schedule. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
