Measurement and Terrain Structure
With only a 225-acre footprint, Wildcat is kind of a bit smaller than essentially the most distinguished East Coast locations and extra on par size-wise to the resorts within the southern a part of the state. However Wildcat’s footprint is way taller than it’s vast, and its 2,112-foot vertical drop is kind of aggressive for the East Coast. Wildcat additionally has one of many highest summit elevations within the Northeast, topping out simply above 4,000 ft, which helps with snow preservation in higher mountain areas.
Wildcat’s format is kind of easy. The resort is admittedly only one mountain face served in its full extent by the high-speed Wildcat Categorical Quad, with a spread of helper fixed-grip lifts extending up a part of the best way. At any time when the summit quad goes on wind maintain, the resort depends on the better-protected fixed-grip lifts for uphill service (though it’s very uncommon that the resort operates all of its lifts on the identical time).
