Probably only a concern on low angle stuff, but yeah, one weekend I was repeating this traverse in the trees, trying to only lose like 20 feet over a longer distance, and it became very like, low speed technical. Take two nice powder turns, then head between those two trees, stay in existing tracks, duck branches and just try and make it so you don't have to unstrap and hike to the next incline. Skiers can definitely manage that better.
