Best Ski Resort for Tree Runs in Minnesota: Afton Alps - Tree Skiing Rating

Tree skiing at Afton Alps gets mixed reviews from our Snomad community. Advanced snowboarders like Ashley Fitzgerald rate the tree runs highly, praising the clear signage that makes finding your way through the wooded sections straightforward. Several other users also enjoy the forested areas, though Steven, an intermediate snowboarder, mentions that while Afton serves as a decent "home-base" in Minnesota, it doesn't compare to more expansive resorts. The tree sections provide a good warm-up for those planning trips to larger western mountains. Despite some limitations in size, the tree runs offer a fun challenge for riders of various skill levels.
