Glade Skiing & Tree Well Safety
Glade skiing involves navigating through trees, either off-trail or along designated wooded routes. Many riders seek glades for their solitude, natural beauty, and untouched snow. Trees help preserve powder by providing shade and wind protection. While glade skiing offers a unique experience, it comes with increased risks compared to groomed runs. Hazards such as cliffs, streams, tree wells, logs, stumps, and hidden obstacles may not be marked or secured by ski patrol. Glades are best suited for advanced skiers, though some moderate terrain is available for those developing their skills.
Tree wells form around the base of trees where branches prevent snow from filling in. These voids, often hidden from view, can trap skiers and riders in deep, loose snow, increasing the risk of Snow Immersion Suffocation (SIS). Evergreen trees, such as fir and hemlock, commonly create deep tree wells.
Your awareness and preparation can make all the difference in preventing accidents and ensuring a safe experience at Revelstoke Mountain Resort. Keep reading below to educate yourself and feel more prepared.
