Broadway is a short, low-elevation cross-country ski route in Maine, about 0.8 miles from the town of West Auburn. The out-and-back trip covers roughly 0.86 miles, with a high point of 352 feet and a low of 292 feet. The climb is gentle, with a total gain of 136 feet over the course of the route, and the steepest stretch comes at about 0.32 miles in, with a grade of about 5 percent. Winter is the natural season for this kind of skiing. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Lewiston show January highs around 28°F with lows near 12°F, while February runs a little warmer, with highs around 32°F. The station sits about 170 feet lower than the route's high point, so temperatures on the trail run slightly cooler. Several other ski routes sit within a short distance. Jim's Split and Ricker's Field Loop are each about 0.1 mile away, and Ken's Drop is about 0.3 mile off. For a change of pace, the Perkins Ridge Trail is about 0.2 mile away and offers hiking.
