Facing north at an average 11°, Upper-Catapult gets about 73% of the winter sun that flat ground at Wildcat Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 67% of the runs we've measured, and the 39th shadiest named run at Wildcat Mountain. Its top sits at 3,960 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.
