Best Ski Resort for Tree Runs in Canada: Revelstoke - Tree Skiing Rating

Tree skiing at Revelstoke is consistently praised as world-class by our Snomad community. A user who is an advanced snowboarder said the off-piste and tree runs are "the best there is," while another mentioned finding powder pockets in the trees even a week after snowfall. The glades offer technical terrain for free-riders, with one expert skier noting you'll find "tight chutes, massive cliffs, and anything else one could want." For those who love deep powder days, the trees provide excellent stashes where, as Julie put it, "powder is always lurking." Even beginners can enjoy the well-groomed tree-line runs that cater to all skill levels.

#2 Whitewater Ski Resort - Tree Skiing Rating

Whitewater is a tree-skier's dream come true. Our users consistently rave about the quality of tree runs throughout the resort. "Pure simple and REAL DEEP," says expert snowboarder Pax Arrowsmith. The off-piste and tree skiing is described as "off the charts" by multiple reviewers. A user who is an advanced snowboarder mentioned that "if you love trees and pow this is the place for you." Even weeks after a dump, you can still find powder stashes hidden among the trees. The Glory Chair area gets particular praise, with endless tree options that will keep you busy for days.

#3 Mont Sutton - Tree Skiing Rating

Mont Sutton stands out for its exceptional tree skiing, with users consistently praising this aspect of the resort. One Snomad community member liked that "the triple blacks are in the trees, with many unique features, small cliff drops, and fun maneuvers!" The resort's natural terrain creates an adventurous feel rather than a typical resort experience. Advanced snowboarders particularly enjoy the "sous bois" (undergrowth) areas, especially on powder days. For the more daring, there are challenging tree runs that follow mountain bike trails with exciting drops. The beautiful forest setting creates a picturesque backdrop that enhances the whole skiing experience.
