A.M.F Map

To access this run: Take the Cirque poma until you get to the fifth tower. Let go after passing the fifth tower and traverse to the skier's right. You can also access this run from the top of the poma, but getting off at the fifth tower makes it easier and faster to find the trail. The top of this run is steep and narrow and then opens up to become much wider and a little less steep. This run is best to do when the snow is soft or on a powder day. This run funnels into a long gully with bumps, trees, and some very steep pitches.
