Christmas Tree Valley Map

To get to Christmas tree valley, you need to cut in through some denser trees on the outskirts of this tree run before you emerge into a fairly open valley of smaller Christmas trees. If you manage to cut in high enough, you might see the cabin made out of logs (sometimes buried in the snow). It's great fun picking your way through these trees, and there's some sweet drops off some small to medium rocks, with (in general) good landings.
