Looking for Trees

[BlizzardBabe]

Greetings Divas,

My ski pals are thinking about next season and one of us in particular really likes trees. We've gone to Steamboat several times and she really enjoys the trees there, but we are wondering if there are other U.S. resorts that are also known for their good tree skiing.

All recommendations/input would be welcome, but I have full Ikon, so I have a bit of a bias there.

Thanx in advance!

Not Ikon but both Heavenly and Northstar in Tahoe have awesome tree skiing.

Deer Valley has surprisingly great tree skiing! I feel like many people who go there stick to the groomers so I was finding fresh lines many days after the storm. I wouldn’t say they’re known for it in particular but we were very happy exploring there.

Not a destination resort, but one reason my crew have been going to Wolf Creek is for the tree skiing. Not just steep trees, but also mellow glades that are fun even during early season when the snow coverage isn't that deep yet.

Have a vague impression that Snowmass had good trees. But the place is huge and I've only skied there a few days during a couple of trips a while back.

Here's a marketing blurb about trees at Mary Jane at Winter Park.

Winter Park Resort

#1 Ski Resort in North America

www.winterparkresort.com

" . . .
A new century brought even more improvements to the Jane, most notably with the opening of the Panoramic lift in 2007, which became North America’s highest six-passenger, high-speed chairlift, and opened up 100 acres of gladed terrain on spectacular Parsenn Bowl, as well as easier access to Vazquez Cirque. One year earlier, the Eagle Wind lift was opened on the back side Parsenn Bowl, providing skiers/riders with some of the best tree-skiing in the country.

Beaver Creek has a lot of tree skiing options. I don’t love trees but my kids do and they made me do more than I wanted. There are pretty mellow tree options as well as some real steep glades. I didn’t do those

Second rec for Wolf Creek too.
