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.

Description

If you're looking to learn to ski the pow, this may be a good choice. It's often untracked, because it's so low angle that it barely necessitates turning, so I imagine not many go after it. That said, it does take quite bit of work to get here from the Spruces Parking Lot. A faster way to get here is from the 9990 Express lift in Park City.
