"A" Frame is a short cross-country ski trail in Pennsylvania, about 2.9 miles from Marvin, New York. It is rated easy and runs 0.68 miles one way as an out-and-back, about 1.4 miles round trip. The climbing is modest. It gains about 75 feet one way and about 235 feet over the full round trip as it rolls between roughly 1,680 and 1,770 feet. The steepest pitch, a grade of about 6 percent, comes near the 0.3-mile mark. Winter is ski season here. A nearby weather station records typical January highs around 32°F and lows near 16°F. That station sits several hundred feet lower than the trail, so temperatures on the route run cooler. Several other ski trails sit close by, including Peak Trail, Exclaimation Point and Cliffside, each about 0.1 mile away. For paddling, French Creek is about 9 miles off.
