Silvi Trail (Blue) is a short, flat cross-country ski route in New York, about a mile from the village of Paul Smiths. The trail is an out-and-back that covers roughly a quarter of a mile, with a high point of 1,716 feet and a low of 1,699 feet. The climb is nearly flat, with a total gain and loss of about 38 feet each way, and the steepest stretch comes at about 0.05 miles in, with a grade of about 2%. Winter is the natural season for this trail. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show January highs around 25°F with lows near 2°F, while July highs reach about 77°F. The station sits at a similar elevation to the trail, so temperatures here run about the same. Several other routes start within a tenth of a mile, including the Wood & Waters Trail (Red), the Easy Street (Blue) ski route and the Skidder Trail (Orange). For a change of pace, the West Branch Saint Regis River offers canoeing about 8 miles away.
