Exclaimation Way is a short, easy cross-country ski route in Pennsylvania, about 0.4 miles long, with a round trip of roughly 0.8 miles and a total elevation gain of 86 feet. It's an out-and-back with a high point of about 1,722 feet and a low of about 1,658 feet, so the climb is gentle, and the steepest part comes early, around 6% grade at about 0.17 miles in. The nearest town is Marvin, New York, about 2.7 miles away. The route is close to several other cross-country ski areas, including Cliffside and Exclaimation Point, each about 0.1 miles off, and Peak Trail and the "A" Frame, each about 0.2 miles away. Winter is the natural season for this. Typical January averages from a nearby weather station in Union City, Pennsylvania, run from a high of 32°F to a low of 16°F, while summer highs there reach about 80°F in July. That station sits roughly 300 feet lower than the route, so temperatures on the ski trail tend to run a little cooler.
