Off to mayrhofen in a few weeks and Im just looking for some guidance on where to ski decent (not to difficult eg. no big cliff drops, 50 degree slopes) off piste??
Under 150 TUX lift and a few runs I have seen mentioned on here on the side country stuff?
any tips very welcome!
Thanks.
Tim.

Get on the train to Zell am Ziller there are tons of opportunities there - side piste and under lifts. I thought Zell was much better you can see the runs on the way up.
Under the 150 is good just be aware of the ava risk.
As for mayrhofen there is another thread on in lots of side stuff between blue 2 and 20 - there is a drag lift (t-bar) in finkenberg that hardly anyone goes on as it only serves one run (maybe blue 4). There is a little hut at the top - go left as soon as you get off - deep powder. As soon as it levels off a bit you need to turn back left towards the lift or as I did ended up skiing down through a few huts and down a road and which eventually joined on to a piste.
Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

There is plenty of good off piste available in Mayrhofen, various routes off of the top of the Horberg, either directly off the front from the Schneekar hut, or round the back down into the Horbergtal (valley of death) (comes out at the fun park) or the other side down to the unterbergalm lift.
Once up the 150 tux you can again head down into the valley of death or better still head higher up to the top of Horbergjoch entrace into the valley of death.
There is also plenty of opportunities between black 12 and red 13 and when you head up there on the Nordhangnahn, just when you think you reach the crest there is a little extra dip that hold lots of fresh that most want try.
Also if you come down red 16 from the top of the 150TUX, there are also plenty routes off to the left that will take you back to the base of the 150.
Anyway, if you are a noob, get some local help till you know the terrain.

All the OP under the 150TUX was closed recently due Avo risk .
Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Also, I don't recall the 150TUX goes any where near red 7/27??? Also be aware that that some of the runs do not exsist anymore due restructuring some runs last last Summer.... New chair lift down to red 12 & 13 joins at bottom of chair lift but no idea where black 12 joins the new lift, also run 11a seems to have disappeared. Paper Piste maps do not reflect the billboard maps so advise some caution until it all gets sorted

Post above updated with correct run number from top to bottom of 150 Tux. The first half of this video is off the side of that run, second half is on the Finkenberg run off the 150.
