The Red Pine Trees offer intermediate tree skiing on the ridge that separates Red Pine Fork from Maybird Gulch in Little Cottonwood Canyon. The Red Pine Trees are very similar to The Church, in fact, they start at the same location, but The Church descends into Maybird Gulch whereas the Red Pine Trees descend into Red Pine Fork. The Red Pine Trees slope angle varies from a very safe 24° to a much steeper 36°.

Getting to the Red Pine Trees

Follow the directions to Maybird Gulch from the White Pine trailhead. Those instructions take you to the top of The Church and the Red Pine Trees (at 40.5496° / -111.7020°).

When skiing the Red Pine Trees, bear slightly skier's right—it's easy to mistakenly end up in The Church (and vice versa).

Depending on how far down Red Pine Fork you ski, it's likely you'll need to do a short skin (i.e., 200 or 300 vertical feet) to get back up to the main Red Pine Fork trail

When you are returning to your car on the Red Pine Fork trail, there are a few sections that are slightly uphill and require side-stepping (or unbinding on a snowboard).
