The Dangers of Tree Wells On The Mountains

Tree wells are hidden hazards on ski mountains, especially in deep powder conditions. They form around the base of trees when snowfall creates a loose, hollow area beneath the branches. If a skier or snowboarder falls into a tree well, they can become trapped in deep snow, making it difficult to escape without assistance. This can lead to suffocation, as movement causes more snow to collapse around them. The risk is heightened when skiing alone or in low-visibility conditions. To stay safe, skiers should always ride with a partner, maintain distance from trees, and be aware of rescue techniques in case of an emergency. Watch this video from Schweitzer Ski Patrol
