Blue Wildcat Mountain, NH
Upper-Lynx drops 551 vertical feet over 2,609 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 23° about 1,660 feet below the top. That's steeper than 64% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 23rd steepest of 49 named runs at Wildcat Mountain. It faces northwest.
Facing northwest at an average 13°, Upper-Lynx gets about 68% of the winter sun that flat ground at Wildcat Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 75% of the runs we've measured, and the 27th shadiest named run at Wildcat Mountain. Its top sits at 3,830 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.
