Oslo is a cross-country ski route in the Town of Johnsburg Land in New York, managed by city land. It is a short out-and-back, about 0.3 miles long, with a total climb of 137 feet and a steepest grade of about 9% near the start. Winter is the natural season for skiing here. Typical averages from a nearby weather station at Indian Lake show January highs around 25°F with lows near 6°F, and February is similar at about 28°F and 7°F. That station sits roughly 440 feet higher than the route, so temperatures on the trail run a little warmer. Several other ski routes lie close by. Overlook Trail is about 0.1 mile away, Stadium Run about 0.2 mile, and A-Climb and Blueberry Patch each about 0.3 mile.
