Mt. Pittsford Ski Trail is a short cross-country ski route in New York, about 2.4 miles from the town of Pittsford. It is an easy out-and-back, roughly 0.4 miles long, with a total climb of about 39 feet. The trail starts and ends at nearly the same elevation, around 641 feet, and the steepest part comes about a third of the way in, with a grade of about 3%. Winter is the natural season for this trail. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Victor show January highs around 39°F and lows near 16°F, while December and February run only slightly colder. The station sits a few dozen feet lower than the trail, so temperatures on the route may run slightly cooler. Several other routes lie close by. Farm Loop is about 0.4 miles away, and Royal Coach Loop and Sugar Bush Loop are within about 1.6 miles. For more skiing, Pine Woods Trail is about 2 miles off.
