Why Revelstoke is Highly Rated for Tree Runs

Revelstoke's tree runs are legendary, earning it a well-deserved silver award in the 2025 edition of the Best Resorts for Tree Skiing - Worldwide with a gargantuan 4.70/5.00 rating for this category. The resort's expansive glade terrain offers an unparalleled mix of perfectly spaced trees that create natural pathways for all levels of powder seekers. Andrew, an expert skier in our community, describes it perfectly: "You can escape into either the North Bowl or Greely and ski in fresh powder all day. Or you can ski the multitude of more accessible runs and hit the glades between runs. Tons of amazing glades all over the mountain." The variety is extraordinary – from mellow tree sections for intermediates to steeper, more technical forest terrain for advanced riders. Lizzy, an expert snowboarder, was emphatic in her assessment, claiming she experienced the "best tree runs of my life" at Revelstoke.

What truly distinguishes Revelstoke's forest skiing is the exceptional quality of snow that tends to stay preserved within the trees long after a powder day. The natural features and obstacles throughout the gladed areas create endless line options and exciting terrain variations. One Snomad community member, Matthew, highlighted that "tree skiing is awesome" with powder stashes everywhere, making it his favourite mountain for freeriding. Benjamin, an advanced skier, reinforced this sentiment, noting that even coming from the East Coast, he found the "tree runs and overall super fun challenging terrain" to be the standout feature. The thoughtfully maintained spacing between trees – not too tight, not too sparse – provides that perfect balance of challenge and flow that tree-skiing enthusiasts dream about, making every powder day at Revelstoke a truly exceptional experience.
