The  primary determining factor for the altitude of treeline is temperature.  
But it's not quite as simple as that.  It has more to do with the  length of 
growing season, soil temperature, wind (or angle of slope), and  as the link 
below suggests for the northeastern US ranges, the average  positioning of 
the winter cloud base, which determines where the most rime  ice will 
accumulate.
