How well Thompson Brook Trail holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northeast at an average 13°, Thompson Brook Trail gets about 66% of the winter sun that flat ground at Wildcat Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 77% of the runs we've measured, and the 24th shadiest named run at Wildcat Mountain. Its top sits at 3,900 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.
