Hmmm, that link doesn't bring you to the exact section of the plan. Google: "Wildcat Mountain terrain expansion" and it will bring you to those plans

When the wind blows that's where all the snow goes and it gets very little sun, so the snow preservation is fantastic.

I've read that once upon a time there was plans to put a lift, trails and a second base lodge out there. Glad it never happened. Though I wish the USFS realized what a great skiing resource that bowl is and opened up even more side country lines. Maybe someday they can form a partnership with Granite Backcountry Alliance.

Here's the information of those past expansion plans:

There's a ton of lines in there. Honestly, I hope they keep it the way it is...

Also, link seemed to work for me within a page or two... some good reading in there.

No doubt there's a lot. Some do need a bit of clean up though. The one named after a big lake to the South had a few trees down in it this year that really messed up the flow even in this big snow year.

Those are the real deal. Wicked steep and hard to find! Good stuff!

I was contemplating a trip up but can't rationalize 9 hours driving for a day trip.

Where was that picture taken from?

They're claiming the summit. That pic was pulled from Twitter. I don't remember a little deck like that on the hut up there.

This is from Instagram. Looks like it's facing the direction towards Upper Catapult / Upper Wildcat.
