Ski Broadmoor snow report
Ski Broadmoor
Ski Broadmoor is a small ski resort in Colorado, United States, with eight runs for skiers and snowboarders. The best trails are generally considered to be the intermediate and advanced options, with some challenging terrain available for experienced skiers. A little-known fact is that the resort was originally opened in 1936 by Spencer Penrose, a wealthy businessman and philanthropist who also founded the nearby Broadmoor Hotel. For beginners, it's recommended to start on the Snowflake run, which is the longest and easiest trail. As for après ski, the Golden Bee is a popular spot located in the nearby Broadmoor Hotel, known for its lively atmosphere and famous "Beehive" pub sing-alongs.
Terrain mix: Ski Broadmoor is not a real ski resort in Colorado. The Broadmoor is a luxury resort located in Colorado Springs, but it does not have a ski resort associated with it. It is known for its beautiful grounds, golf courses, and spa facilities, rather than skiing.

Mountain & avalanche safety
- Know before you go
- Check today's avalanche bulletin from the regional avalanche center before any off-piste / side-country / backcountry travel. Conditions can shift dramatically between morning and afternoon on storm days.
- Carry the gear, know how to use it
- Beacon, shovel, probe. Practice companion rescue on a calm day, not during a real burial.
- Mind the weather window
- Heavy snow + wind builds wind slabs at ridgelines. The day after a storm is often the riskiest in the backcountry, even if the resort itself is open.
- Respect closed terrain
- Ropes are there for a reason. Even in-bounds, ducking a closure can trigger a slide that catches you and others below.

About Ski Broadmoor
Where does the snow data for Ski Broadmoor come from?
Snowpack, SWE, 24-hour snowfall, and air temperature come from the nearest USDA NRCS SNOTEL station. Forecast comes from the National Weather Service / yr.no feed that Snoflo's iOS app uses.
How often is the snow report updated?
Snowpack and SNOTEL data are updated continuously by NRCS (typically hourly). The 15-day weather forecast is refreshed throughout the day. Snoflo caches and renders the most recent observation -- look for the "as of" timestamp on the snowpack hero.
What's the elevation at Ski Broadmoor?
See the Resort Metrics panel above for base / summit / vertical drop. The summit elevation drives snowpack accumulation -- higher summits hold snow longer through spring.
How is "% of normal" calculated?
Today's snowpack is compared to the average snowpack on this calendar day across every recorded year at the nearest SNOTEL. 100% means right on average; 130% is a big year; 60% is thin.

See the Other Ski Areas pill grid at the bottom of the page for resorts within driving distance. The sister Other Ski Areas card in the Plan-a-longer-trip grid above shows the closest few.
Can I get alerts when fresh snow hits?
Yes -- snow alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this resort, set a snowfall threshold (e.g. "alert me when 6+ inches"), and you'll get a push the moment the SNOTEL crosses.
