      The Academy Hill network features a mixture of classically rooty and challenging xc trails, as well as beginner jump lines which allow for everyone to catch a bit of air. All trails can be accessed from the central ATV trail with multiple loop options possible.
      Starting in 2024, a newer zone is being developed along the upper hillside above the groomed snowmobile trail. Access from the dedicated climb trail Snakes'n Ladders, trails in this zone will be gravity focused and carry higher difficulty ratings.
      Primary Trail Type: Cross-Country
      eBikes Allowed: No
      Access Info:
      Parking is available at Pasadena Ski Park from Spring to Fall (not accessible during Winter months).
      Disclaimer:
      Regular work on new and existing trails throughout the year, be mindful of builders.
      Motorized traffic is permitted on the Academy Hill ATV trail.
