A peak with something for everyone, the eastern side of Mount Wolverine offers the intermediate Wolverine Bowl whereas the north-facing Wolverine Cirque proffers death-defying chutes.
As mentioned in this sign, Alta does perform some avalanche control work on Mount Wolverine. I think this is mostly done on the side facing the ski resort.

Take the same route as you would to go to Wolverine Bowl from Milly, i.e., ride Brighton's Milly chairlift, exit the Milly backcountry gate, boot up the ridge to the summit of Mount Millicent, and ski down the ridge toward Wolverine Bowl. When you reach the low point on the ridge, put on your skins and continue up the looker's right-side of Wolverine Bowl to the summit of Mount Wolverine.
