The Best Tree Skiing Runs on Blackcomb | Whistler Blackcomb Ski Guide

Breaking down the top 14 Tree runs on Blackcomb mountain in Whistler Blackcomb.

My favourite powder days at Whistler are always spent skiing in the trees. Trees create visibility on foggy days, protect the snow from sun and wind, hold snow hostage and also hide it from other skiers. Some of the deepest, fluffiest powder is often tucked into the trees just waiting to be stumbled across.

You don’t have to head off into the backcountry to find awesome tree skiing in Whistler Blackcomb. There are amazing powder stashes located throughout the trees all over the mountain. Sometimes the best tree skiing can be experienced by just popping in and out of the trees while skiing down the main runs.

In this video I’m going to introduce you to some awesome marked and un-marked spots where intermediate/advanced/expert skiers can play around in the trees.

PLEASE NOTE you should always stick with a friend and exercise caution when skiing in trees. Whistler Blackcomb is a massive resort and the hazards are very real. Take your time when getting to know new areas. Cliffs, rocks, and fallen trees exist everywhere and will not be marked off main trails.

Hopefully this video will help you to get more comfortable on the mountain and become a better tree skier.

Keep on Shreddin’
