Very short pistillate catkins and long silky hairs on juvenile leaves. Could also be glauca. Planted in a naturalized area so genetics are uncertain.

Here's one I called Salix arctica var. petraea. It has dark bracts (as in S. arctica) but hairless twigs (as in S. petrophila).

@margaret_eaglecap
I called this one Salix arctica var. petraea (the var. on the advice of Salix expert I "knew" from Facebook, referring to some similar photos I posted if not necessarily the same ones). The flower bracts are very dark, greenish-black, suggesting S. arctica but twigs are hairless as in S. petrophila.

@margaret_eaglecap
I called this one Salix arctica var. petraea.
Bracts seem tawny on this one (at least not dark/black) as on S. petrophila and twigs are hairless as on S. petrophila.
Location not accurate. It was somewhere along the scree edge in Arethusa Cirque.

I would have called this Salix arctica but hairless twigs seem to make it Salix petrophila; ref.: Vascular Flora of Alberta.

I'd love to have this identified. I couldn't figure it out even with a park species list. It was large (1+m stems), weak-stemmed and fairly common in moist forest edges in Waterton Lakes NP.
