There are several good ways to access Big O and the O face cliffs but the most popular seems to be from the Park City ski resort’s gates atop 9,900.  After exiting the gates follow the ridgeline south past Silver peak and another unnamed peak.  Big O is right past the unnamed peak. And just beyond that is McBurney’s and the O Face cliffs.

 

O Face is another reason Park City Canyons Village has the Best backcountry skiing in Park City.
