This picture
was taken skiing down from the crystal double chair and looks
up towards the summit of Blacktail Mountain. As you can see,
Blacktail lies below tree line - meaning there are trees all
the way to the top of the mountain. Another reason Blacktail
Ski Area is so heavily wooded in is because it was built over
areas that have been heavily logged in the past. As such, the
mountain is heavily wooded in by lots and lots of small diameter,
but tall, trees.
