Lake Louise Resort Backcountry

Wolverine Ridge yesterday for an afternoon stroll from the Lake Louise Resort. Skiing was excellent in the upper parts (2350 meters) where the snowpack was supportive and provided boot-top powder in low angle terrain. Below tree line it was a bit like waterskiing where speed and sitting back on your tails kept you afloat.....until you stopped and found your tips buried in re-crystalized snow close to the ground. "Weak" snowpack but no signs of instability (whumpfing, cracking, avalanches...) observed while avoiding steeper terrain. Main concern would be to skier-trigger whatever cohesive slab there is on the plentiful basal facets on smooth surfaces out there.
