How well Broadway holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northeast at an average 19°, Broadway gets about 67% of the winter sun that flat ground at 49 Degrees North does, December through March. That's shadier than 76% of the runs we've measured, and the 43rd shadiest named run at 49 Degrees North. Its top sits at 5,300 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.
