Fantasy Headwall Map

Fantasy Headwall is a steep, powdery, open face opposite to the Anesthesia Chutes. You can either hike to the desired entrance or traverse it from the Fantasy Ridge gate. The Headwall is open often in February and March and is usually a very fun run on a powder day. It is one of my favorite in-bounds lines at Park City.
