A large, steep open cliffed zone to be respected
Freeride Skiing Severe
Marvins is a large expanse starting to the north, off the top of Benchmark proper. Marvins consists of two significant cliff bands on steep slopes, running approximately 1200'. "East" Marvins can be less navigable, as it winds down a treed drainage. East Marvins is the first drainage to the north off the top of Benchmark and is skier left of Abes. The Marvins zone needs to be given respect as it has significant cliffs, and hazardous run outs. This zone ends in the main basin. To exit the area, follow the basin out, always being aware of drops and terrain traps. The final open meadow will lead you to a narrow track which returns to the East Vail neighborhood where the bus to Vail Village can be found.
Severe
Steep skiing at 38-45 degrees. This requires very good technique and the risk of falling has serious consequences.
