DURING ARRIVAL, THE PLT ELECTED TO LAND ON AN UPHILL RWY WITH A TAIL WIND. SHE STATED THAT SHE WAS HIGH ON FINAL & SIDE SLIPPED UNTIL REACHING THE CORRECT ALTITUDE WHILE USING THE VASI LIGHTS FOR A REFERENCE. AS SHE APPROACHED THE RWY, THE WIND BLEW THE ACFT TO THE LEFT OF THE CENTERLINE. AN UNSUCCESSFUL ATTEMPT WAS MADE TO CORRECT TO THE RIGHT. A DECISION WAS MADE TO GO-AROUND BEFORE REACHING MIDFIELD. THE PLT STATED THAT DUE TO THE ATTITUDE OF THE ACFT, SHE DID NOT SEE A CLUMP OF TREES AHEAD. SUBSEQUENTLY, THE ACFT STRUCK THE TREES (TO THE LEFT OF THE RWY) & CRASHED.
