Fir trees prosper in the Pacific North West and the Whistler Blackcomb ski resort is no exception. The upper terrain is clearly above the tree line but the remainder of the mountain has a vast number of trails cut through the forest. Some challenging ski trails do not even have a clear pathway cut and just run through the natural forest.

The tree or "glade" runs are rated at least black diamond (advanced), and are scattered throughout the terrain of both the Whistler and Blackcomb side of the resort. Here we take you on a tour of "Davies Dervish", "Outer Limits", and "In The Spirit" all on the Blackcomb side. The Whistler side also has notable tree runs like "In Deep" and "Unsanctioned".

The trees are a scenic winter wonderland with green moss draped over branches and hanging from the bark of the trees. On windy or foggy days the forest shields you from both. The trees are an effective wind barrier and on a foggy day the visibility is greatly improved.
