The most famed run in Park City, the Hourglass Couloir is directly off the frontside of Jupiter Peak. You drop into a funnel that will take you into the wide but steep couloir. On powder days, this couloir is a very fun but nerve-racking experience with barely any obstacles, but on regular days and early season, you must bypass the cliff at the bottom by skiing over it or using a rope to lower yourself down. Though it might not be as extreme as the other couloirs on Jupiter Peak, like Navajo, Granite, or Colorado, but it is for sure the most iconic and respected.
