Tree skiing touted

Skiing Magazine readers rate Steamboat Ski & Resort in Colorado tops when it comes to tree skiing, according to the first annual Resort Awards in its October edition. Steamboat was selected as the No. 1 place to tree ski in North America.

The magazine noted the "huge snowfall and low forest density” as the perfect recipe for the best tree skiing in the country. Local Eugene Buchanan has been skiing Steamboat’s trees for 16 years and chalks up the ranking to the fact that "here, you can duck into the trees from any trail and find lines.”
