How well TopCat holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northwest at an average 7°, TopCat gets about 77% of the winter sun that flat ground at Wildcat Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 60% of the runs we've measured, and the 46th shadiest named run at Wildcat Mountain. Its top sits at 3,300 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.
