So many magical trees in Hachimantai, Iwate, Japan (last week).
I should probably add that imagining shapes in the snow monsters (Japanese: Juhyo) was an entertaining part of this trip…for instance…

First real tree run at 5years old. Does life get any better?
Some Taos trees from a couple of weeks ago...
Is the last photo of Tell Trees? The middle photo appears to have been taken from Lift 7.

Correct on lift 7.
The glade photo is from the little glade between Lower Totemoff and Maxie's. It's not marked on the trail map, but there is a sign at the entrance gate to it (which is what I'm looking back up toward in the pic). I can't remember the name, but it's considered a blue square glade.
It was the second trees I'd ever skied a few years ago, after lower Japanese Flag... we had gotten a bunch of new snow, and my morning class was first in there when it was untracked and boot deep. It was pretty darn memorable for me at the time, having never really skied trees, and very little in the way of untracked stuff.
I believe the run is called "Arroyo Hano."
Some Taos favorites, from earlier today. I did my usual warmup run down Spencer's to Showdown, and was not disappointed.
Treeflection, from today, on Lift 2 at Taos.
Snakedance trees at Taos, from today.
Here are some native Vine Maples in winter, without the leaves you can see all the moss and some ferns growing on branches.
Here’s an unusual Alder, it was probably munched on by cows when this was a cleared pasture, so the Alder kept sprouting a new leader, so there’s five trunks now.
