"The trees are among the most fun terrain to ski or snowboard, depending on the conditions. When the bowls and ungroomed runs are skied off and scratchy, the trees are often a great place to find some hidden powder stashes. Of course it depends on you abilities, as the forest can quickly get scary if you aren't confident in your skills."
"The tips are pretty simple. The first is to look where you want to go, not at the trees. If you look at a tree or a nearby obstacle, you're more likely to head straight toward it, so focus on the space between with the best snow. The second tip, keeping your body facing downhill and your hands up, strong pole plants can help you control your turns."
Trees provide some of the most enjoyable terrain for skiing or snowboarding and can hold hidden powder when bowls and ungroomed runs are skied off and scratchy. Success in tree skiing requires confidence and appropriate ability because the forest can become hazardous quickly. Three practical techniques improve control: look where you want to go rather than at trees or obstacles; keep the body facing downhill with hands up and execute strong pole plants to guide turns; and use the legs to perform turning, slowing, and stopping so the upper body remains stable and speed is managed.
