Mines Runout
The gully below the Mines 1 and Mines 2 slide paths is the only exit from either of those lines or from Vortex. It’s a dangerous terrain trap that would collect the snow from a slide in any of those lines. If either of the Mines paths were to slide you would be buried deep within seconds if you were in here. If you have to pass through here, stay to the skier’s right to reduce your risk of remote triggering a slide from above, but be aware that you aren’t at all protected or safe in here no matter where you ski.
