How well Wildcat holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing north at an average 13°, Wildcat gets about 63% of the winter sun that flat ground at Windham Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 81% of the runs we've measured, and the 10th shadiest named run at Windham Mountain. Its top sits at 2,770 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.
