East Coast Tree skiing

Fun. The sketchiness is half the fun. For the most part you won't find anything good on the map though. I'll need to dig up some pics of my favourites.

 
Alright took some stills from video I took on a trip to SR last year. Temps were about 35-40 that week so snow wasn't great, but it had snowed a bit near the top of the peaks.

These first two are from one of my favourites. Snow wasn't too good, but better then nothing.

This one was a little sketchy. If you recognize this place, you probably remember it bot being too different for you. Almost never good snow on this part.

This is nothing compared to other places on the EC either. Sugarloaf, Jay, and Stowe all have really sick spots that are amazing.

 
The Benches in backcountry Stowe is most likely the best treeskiing in the east, let alone some of my favorite in the world, so many good memories there
 
plenty of it. totally variable terrain, but the woods are generally tighter, drops sketchier, but its all really fun. just have to go to the right places in the right conditions tho
 
ha, i would be terrrified, there is no base under that, so hitting sharks and being grabbed by snakes is super likely.

I think pow on the east actually makes skiing more dangerous cause you cant see and avoid the sketchiness located 6 inches under the top of the pow.
 
Haha, yeah I guess. Jay peak AVERAGES about 355+ every year though. IMO that's pretty good for the East Coast, that's more than Mount Washington too.
 
y'all quit bitching. i've never had a powder day in my life, the most snow i've ever skied like pow is about 3 inches on snow on a groomer.
 
yes, Jay does average 350 plus a year. The mountain lies in this magical meteorological anomaly that produces a beautiful thing called the jay cloud.

Mid-to-late Feb is always the best. Tree skiing is "sharky"(more like branchy) and scary early winter, but come january it ain't bad.

 
Lol, there is no such thing as a tremblant pow day, main runs get skied out my 10am. We do have great tree skiing though, tons of secret spots, so you can get some good snow if you know where to go.
 
Le Massif destroys Tremblant for snowfall though.

Tremblant: 156 inch yearly average

Le Massif: 263 inch yearly average

..

Jay: 376 inches

but then there are some pretty epic tree skiing/backcountry areas like the Chic Chocs. average 250ish inches of snow a year

and look like this:

and a little video of Meatheads crew skiing there

 
355 is not only some of the best in the east, but is just as much (if not more) than a lot of places in CO.
 
To be honest with you, I didn't even realize terrain existed on the East Coast like that. I now need to trek there to ski at least once in my life time. Most of those peaks look at least 1KM tall. Yes? No?
