How well Broadway holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing north at an average 12°, Broadway gets about 71% of the winter sun that flat ground at Red River does, December through March. That's shadier than 69% of the runs we've measured, and the 35th shadiest named run at Red River. Its top sits at 9,510 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.
