How well Broadway holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing east at an average 12°, Broadway gets about 101% of the winter sun that flat ground at Whiteface Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 73% of the runs we've measured, and the 53rd sunniest named run at Whiteface Mountain. Its top sits at 2,520 feet.

With little slope to hide behind, it takes nearly the full winter sun of open ground: powder settles and turns heavy sooner after a storm, and spring snow softens early. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
