How well Wild-Kitten holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing north at an average 8°, Wild-Kitten gets about 75% of the winter sun that flat ground at Wildcat Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 64% of the runs we've measured, and the 43rd shadiest named run at Wildcat Mountain. Its top sits at 2,710 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.
