EC tree skiers of NS!!

The Loaf is my home mountain but my favorite EC tree skiing is at Jay. I've never been to Magic before but I'd love to make it out there a couple times this season. I hear it's awesome. I'd be so down to do a clinic there, what are the dates?

Come to the loaf. Saddlebsck is pretty damn solid for trees too.

The dates aren't set yet but management has been after me to do them for a couple years now so it'll happen this season. I will absolutely keep you posted though for sure! Planning on doing 2 day clinics, with full individual video technique breakdowns on the 1st night and 1-on-1 devo stuff thorughout the weekend clinics. If you like Jay you'll love Magic though... They don't get the same snowfall obviously but there's way more to go around down here. Jay has a lot of stuff but there's also a shitload of pow hounds too so the hill gets smoked in an hour or two (you know how it is... Kit's is a 10 minute track out haha). Lots and lots of tree skiing and not that many people to track it out down here, and more cliffs than the rest of SoVT combined haha


It's an interesting place for sure- It is literally nothing like the places around it which is both it's greatest strength and it's biggest problem.

Huck_NorrisI REALLY want to ski the Burnt expansion up there.

Yes...you do. You really, really want to. So fun if you hit it at the right time. Such a great idea for them to expand on Burnt and the terrain is awesome. It seems like you can always find good snow in there a few days after a big storm.

Yeah when I read what they were planning on doing up there I got all kinds of "Mother of God" at my keyboard... But it's so freakin' far for me!! That said, I'm making it happen this year at some point. I have to!


Really jealous that they are essentially doubling the resort- and the other half will literally be 100% self-served trees. I mean, does it get any cooler? No. It does not!

Took a trip up to le massif last year they had some pretty sweet trees and 100 acres of hike to tree skiing which was pretty clutch, also went to mount st anne and they had some really sweet trees as well. Im from ct but the stuff i skied up there was much better than anything ive skied in the east stateside so the trip was well worth it for tree lovers on the ec

I am going to miss skiing eastern trees so much this winter. There is nothing like getting into the flow of the turns on a powder day and coming around to find yourself about to hit a drop or a sweet roller/bump.

I love jay, and smuggs has some very cool spots if you go looking for it, but the coolest trees I've ever skied were at mrg all the way skiers right on the single side, super tight chutes that opened up as you got lower to some really fun drops, would love to get back some day with good snow.

if you make it out west, MLB has some pretty good tree skiing too ;)

Since coming to Bishop's universtiy my home mountain has been Jay.

Obviously the fucking best but I would really like to try and explore a little bit more in the Vermont area seeing as it is my last year here and likely last year on the east. Any recommendations of places to go?

My favorite trees on the east have gotta be Jay peak. I was up there this past February when they got dumped 28" over Presidents' Day. It was some of te deepest beast coast snow I've skied. I'm in Colorado this year for school and pretty fucking excited for that too. Powder day at A basin today!

I like trees. I like skiing. I like Magic. Count me in!

Yeah Jay gets extra points stricty for the amount of snow that falls. It's fuckin' amazing and I love me some Jay- something about farting in the tram and then skiing nips deep on the face just can't be beat. The Dip and Big jay are also fun, as is the cat side of the dip road.


I like the layout of Smuggs for skiing pow though. It spreads shit out and it's hidden well. Jay has a hard time keeping stuff hidden so it's kind of a pow race sometimes, and the wind can make or break your day. The amount of sidecountry on Mansfield and the Sterling ridge is crazy too.

Also Belve is SICK- but you should go with somebody who knows the place because there's not much to go by or much around if you get lost.


Another cool place to go and ski trees that nobody goes is the fucking Middlebury Snow Bowl. It's a racer mountain so nobody skies anything but groomers and they have some awesome tree runs that never get touched. Not the biggest or best but I've gone on a 30" day and been the only crew in the trees for the entire time.

I'd sell you on Magic but I'm already a huge Magic whore and I feel like everybody knows it's got the best terrain in SoVT. I wish it got more snow but you'd be amazed at how good it stays when the hill is NW facing. Food for thought though- there are 42 trails... And 30 unnamed tree runs off the map. When the snow is there, you WILL ski fresh haha

Home mountain is Wachusett, probably one of the last places to ban tree skiing, and they put you in jail if they catch you. There are some pretty cool lines around though, one is kind of a mini pillow line.

I also ski at sunday river though, which has lots of stuff off the map. A couple weeks ago I found an unfinished one which ended halfway up in some dead trees, and I trimmed some branches so there is a very sketchy entrance now, it should be fun this year.

All I have is snowshoe and winterplace... :( Tree skiing = virtually nonexistant except on a rare super-snow. Southeast probs.

Last season since we got a lot of snow there was actually some ice in the trees it was honestly so much fun just exploring even though it was shitty af

Believe it or not Wachusett is going to have some gnar tree skiing this season, been hiking and scoping out lines throughout the summer and if we get enough snow there is plenty of sick stuff to ski.

Will be skiing trees at sugarloaf and sunday river in may after I comeback from Montana. Will also be skiing around tuckerman in may as well.

You're a WV guy? Have you ever been to Whitegrass/Canaan Valley ski areas? Pretty cool place for sure, check them out if you haven't. I went down there for the Sandy storm a couple years ago and had a freakin' blast drinking moonshine and staying in FEMA shelters. Those guys rock.
