Phaser Trees is a steep tree section at the end of Sock it to Me Ridge between Cess Pool and Last Steep. While it is the easiest way down the Sock it to me Ridge, don't take it lightly, as the steep terrain is pretty well covered with trees, especially at the bottom. However Phaser is a great place to find powder stashes well after a storm. There is also a cliff band on the skiers left side toward Last Steep. Phaser can be accessed from the bottom of right of Hawk's Nest, or by skiing the Sock it to Me Ridge left past Cess Pool. Exit via the trail at the bottom to Black Eagle and East River Lift.
