Treed Terrain is defined as any terrain or area that is within our boundaries that has multiple trees in close proximity of each other where tree well hazards are more likely to occur. Examples of these types of terrain include but are not limited to:
- HRM Trees (commonly skied area between Kinnikinick & Tamarack)
- North Canyon Trees (between North Canyon and Middle Fork)
- Rams Head Trees (between Trillium and Rams Head)
- Fairly Land (Between Tillicum, North Canyon and Trillium)
- Mitchell Creek Trees (between Mitchell Creek and Fireweed)
- All these areas all meet the criteria of trees in close proximity of each other.
- Please note that any tree on any run may have a dangerous tree well.
Don’t know where any of these trails are? It is your responsibility as an instructor to know where you are at all times and be able to report any location accurately and succinctly in case of an injury or other emergency.
Extremely Difficult Terrain is defined as all gated terrain controlled by a physical rope line including but not limited to:
Heather Canyon, Clark Canyon, Private Reserve, Jacks Woods, etc.
Please refer to the Mt. Hood Meadows trail map and your own local, specific knowledge to self-define potential tree wells and other hazards that are NOT limited to gated terrain at Mt. Hood Meadows.
