Why Revelstoke is Highly Rated for Tree Runs

Revelstoke receiving the 2025 silver award for Best for Tree Runs in North America is no fluke. With an exceptional tree run rating of 4.70/5.00 – this mountain delivers some of the most extraordinary wooded skiing in North America.

Andrew, an expert skier, points out that "tons of amazing glades all over the mountain" create endless opportunities to duck between runs and find fresh lines. The forest terrain offers an ideal mix of steepness and flow, with Matthew (expert snowboarder) describing the tree skiing as "awesome" and a primary reason he considers Revelstoke his favourite mountain.

The natural features within Revelstoke's forested areas create a playground for tree-skiing enthusiasts.

Andre, an advanced skier, points to the "many well pruned tree runs" that maintain just the right amount of natural obstacles while still allowing for smooth descents.
