Upper Polecat drops 669 vertical feet over 4,708 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 20° about 750 feet below the top. That's steeper than 86% of the 3,109 green runs we've measured in North America, and the 33rd steepest of 49 named runs at Wildcat Mountain. It faces northwest.
Facing northwest at an average 8°, Upper Polecat gets about 73% of the winter sun that flat ground at Wildcat Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 66% of the runs we've measured, and the 40th shadiest named run at Wildcat Mountain. Its top sits at 3,970 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.
