Disgusting Trees is a steep, overwhelmingly thick tree run in area that separates Slot Rocks and the Sock it to Me Ridge. If you aren't a nimble skier, you probably won't like it here. However, Disgusting Trees holds great snow if you can navigate through the minimal spaces in the trees, it can make for an awesome run. Access Disgusting Trees by skiing left from the Picture Perfect Glades and the upper Slot Area until you're in thick trees. Or from the skier's left side of The Edge. The trees are less thick closer to the Slot Rocks, or you can find some alleys on the far skiers left closer to Sock it to Me.
