Easy Street (Blue) is a short, flat out-and-back cross-country ski route in New York, about 0.7 miles from the town of Paul Smiths. The trail is easy to reach and easy to ski, with a total length of about 0.38 miles and a rise and fall of just four feet each way, making it a gentle run that starts and ends at nearly the same elevation. Winter is the natural season for this route. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show January highs around 25°F with lows near 2°F, and February is similar at 28°F and 3°F. Summer brings highs in the upper 70s, but that station sits at the same elevation as the trail, so conditions up high run cooler. The trail lies within a cluster of cross-country ski routes. Heron Marsh Trail (Gray), the Wood & Waters Trail (Red) and Huneycutt are all about 0.1 mile away. For climbing, the K: Northern Region climbing area is about 3.3 miles off, and the West Branch Saint Regis River offers canoeing at about 8.2 miles.
