How well Lower Broadway holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northeast at an average 14°, Lower Broadway gets about 73% of the winter sun that flat ground at Hunter Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 66% of the runs we've measured, and the 12th shadiest named run at Hunter Mountain. Its top sits at 2,100 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.
