Orange is a cross-country ski route in New York, about 0.8 miles from the town of Gulick. It is a short, easy outing, with a total round-trip distance of about 0.28 miles and a total elevation gain of about 60 feet. The climb is flat, and the route is an out-and-back that starts and ends at nearly the same elevation, with the high point at about 1,772 feet. Winter is the natural season for skiing here. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Honeoye show January highs around 33°F and lows near 16°F, with about nine snow days that month. That station sits roughly 1,000 feet lower than the route, so temperatures on the ski trail run cooler. Several other cross-country ski routes lie within a short distance, including Blue, Green and Wilderness, each about 0.1 mile away. For paddling, Naples Creek is about 6 miles off.
