Take the Isabelle Glacier Trail all the way. The longest run on the glacier is off Apache Peak's North Ridge (a.k.a. the Kasparov Traverse for those climbers out there who are curious). Head as if you were going to Queen's Way, but then stay climber's right. Climb as high as you want and ski back down. This will be in very late in the season since it's a permanent snowfield.
Difficulty
Severe
Steep skiing at 38-45 degrees. This requires very good technique and the risk of falling has serious consequences.
