An easy to access line, you have to follow the track under the gondola and then tuck into the trees. Don't drop in too early or you get stuck with a hill to climb on the way out. Ride through the trees until you reach the gondola line and then follow that out to the piste.

Description
This is technically out of bounds, so you should not really be riding here and your insurance will be void if caught skiing here, so be careful and you ride at your own risk.
