Tree Safety

Please thoroughly read all mountain safety guidelines as they pertain to any and all trails on our mountain. Tree Skiing is exciting and tons of fun but must be done cautiously and within your skiing ability. Ski Patrol does not regularly patrol gladed trails. Glade trails are not inspected in the morning or at the end of the ski day. Please check the daily Snow Report as to the open or closed status of the glades. It is good practice to carry a cell phone when skiing glades in case of emergency and always ski with a friend. 

Skinning Policy - Uphill Policy

Skinning up is permitted on the assent all-purpose trail, the Get Up There (snow shoe trail) ONLY.
You must ski down an open trail.
No uphill skinning is allowed on open or closed trails.
You must check in first in case there are groomers on the mountain and ski patrol knows of your whereabouts.
You must purchase a lift ticket or have a season pass before you skin up.

Safety Tips for Tree Skiing

• Three in the trees
  Ride with friends when entering the trees. Remember there is safety in numbers.

• Keep you eyes peeled
  There are numerous unmarked hazards that exist within tree skiing. Watch for stumps, branches, rocks, creek beds, and even wildlife.

• Leave no one behind
  Make a plan to meet after tree runs. A rallying point is a good chance for a quick head count and to see if everyone is accounted for.

• Look before you leap
  Rather than riding blindly into uncharted territory, scope your runs from above. Check your surroundings and exit points, and choose appropriately according to your abilities.

• Beware the darkness
  For obvious reasons no one should ever ride the trees after dark. Night time hazards may include a drastic loss of visibility, increased risk of  wildlife, and potential for tree troll encounters.
