Best Ski Resort for Tree Runs in Quebec: Mont Sutton - Tree Runs Rating

Mont Sutton is a paradise for tree skiing enthusiasts. Our reviewers mention that the resort offers exceptional glade skiing with Triple Black diamond runs tucked amongst the trees. One Snomad community member liked the natural terrain features, including small cliff drops and fun manoeuvres throughout the wooded areas. When fresh snow falls, the tree runs become particularly magical, with several users highlighting Sutton as their go-to spot after a Quebec snowstorm. A user who is an advanced snowboarder said the "sous bois" (tree runs) are what makes this mountain special, offering the feel of adventure rather than just another resort experience.

#2 Le Massif - Tree Runs Rating

Le Massif's tree skiing is consistently praised as exceptional by our users. Andrew, an expert snowboarder, highlights the "tons of glades" among the resort's varied terrain. The tree runs are perfectly spaced, offering a thrilling blend of natural beauty and adrenaline-pumping fun. Olivier loves that the "tree riding is pristine," while Emma appreciates the excellent east coast snow in these areas. Advanced skiers note how well-designed the glades are, with just the right amount of powder on fresh days to make them magical. For powder chasers, the Lygori section is particularly recommended, with Stephen saying the 20-minute hike there is "well worth it" on powder days.

#3 Stoneham - Tree Runs Rating

Stoneham's tree runs are legendary among our users, with one Snomad community member comparing them favourably to Smuggler's Notch. These glades seemingly go on forever, offering something for everyone – wide, curvy, technical – you name it. An advanced snowboarder named Arek warns you might even end up taking the trees all the way down to the parking lot if you're not paying attention! Intermediate skiers enjoy the fun blue runs with short sections through the trees, though they note these can wear your legs out quickly. The glades frequently hold powder stashes, making them a favourite for those seeking fresh tracks.
