My buddy Simon had a work window and we had a weather window and decided to get out for a tour.
You can see the morning sun off Mt Temple as we get skinned up for the tour up the Lake Louise
ski out to start our session.

Further to the east is another ridge that would ski pretty well in the right conditions, but on this
day we gave it a bit of a pass.

Simon, looking back on the Unity-Redoubt ridge. I'm not sure if it has another name but it's possible
the larger ridge here to the west is actually Wolverine Ridge.

Simon on top our high point with a view to Wolverine Ridge. We skied the north east aspects here
but the other side (in the sun) is more south and south west aspect.

We got a free lap up the Ptarmigan chair and then tried to keep making our way to the west.
It turns out that this runs out of steam and eventually dumps us into a creek that we had to hike
out of. For future reference, the magic is to take Ptarmigan up to the front side, ski down to
Lowest Meadowlark and ski right to the parking lot.
