In this video I've got five tips for you for snowboarding

in the trees. For me snowboarding in the trees is a way to escape the groomed runs

and terrain park

and really explore different areas of the mountain. The first tip I have

is to always ride in the trees with a friend. Tree riding can be very isolated

so riding with a friend will mean that there's someone there to help you if you

crash or get stuck.

The second tip is to keep your turns small. Small turns keep your speed consistent

and allow you to maneuver through the trees

in control. Be focused on using your heel and toe turns equally

so you can really get a rhythm going. The third tip is to use your knees in the

trees.

The terrain in the trees is uneven and unpredictable, so keep your knees bent

and use them to absorb the bumps and keep your board in contact with the snow.

The fourth tip is to plan your route through the trees

a few turns ahead. Planning a few turns ahead will help you choose the best

trees to turn between

and also tell you if you need to speed up or slow down. The fifth tip is to be

familiar with the trees that you heading into.

it's important to know where the trees lead to, so you know how to get out

and you don't get lost. You also want to know the snow conditions

so you'll know it will be worth riding in the trees that day. Hopefully these tips will help

you have good times riding in the trees.

Give them a try and let me know how it goes. Leave any questions have been the comment

box

and it would be awesome if you left me any ideas for videos I should make in

the future.
