The Cirque Map

The Cirque is a steep, open face that is ski-able almost the whole year. It is accessible from a traverse at 9990 chair. It is a popular in-bounds hot spot for advanced skiers in Park City. It often develops a cornice which is fun to launch off of into the open face of The Cirque. As you get near the bottom, there are many small, steep shots and small cliffs that you can play around in. A very fun run for advanced skiers.
