Full review

I can see where the previous reviewer is coming from...to get back to the base area from the Alberta Lift, you do have to make a long traverse. And no, there are no long stretches of death-defying vertical at Wolf Creek. But through some accident of meterology, Wolf Creek gets a huge amount of snow, and the "side country" experience of skiing the waterfall area is well worth it. If you like cruising through silent glades knee deep in great powder, check out Wolf Creek.
