This was taken from the top of the cone looking north. Runs drop from the peak seen on the ski-line into the Lake Desolation drainage, but they are steep and much more avalanche-prone than PP3.

Whoever this guy is, he can't ski worth crap. This is starting from the top of the cone.
Here is some more crappy skiing by yours truly. This may give you an idea of the terrain in the Powder Park 3 area.
Here's some more terrain in the PP3 area, and yes...more of my crappy skiing.
I want these trees all to myself, but they're no secret in Powder Park 3.
A mother and her calf—never get between them! Go way off the trail and around them. Here, the mother is on the skin-track, and I made my own track on the other side of the drainage.
