Ski areas seem to label this terrain differently, sometimes out of bounds areas are controlled because the avy run out paths would continue into the inbounds area, other times it is considered inbounds terrain that is only accessed by hiking.

Definitely agree with you. The area we hiked out of bounds is patrolled by Ski Patrol for avy danger. In fact here it shows you the blast areas and degrees and information on the runs.

I’ve seen the area slide from avy control last week so it’s definitely at risk and Ski Patrol works hard to make it safer for us riders. But I agree, I have my bc gear and didn’t have it when we hiked out of the gates yesterday. When I hike out of the gates this weekend, I will have it.

A partner is a must, but a beacon, probe, shovel should also be whenever leaving the ski area boundary. With the amount of new snow Mammoth has seen recently the risks for avalanche danger increases even more. Just because it is a commonly hiked and skied route doesn’t mean its is always safe. Case and point is the Saddle Peak avalanche last year just a short hike from the Bridger Bowl Boundaries.
