Did the direct ski tour from the Evan Thompson highway. One of the better tours in the Rockies (even if we didn't get much of a view from the top), especially if you like getting some good turns in on the descent. Watch out for the cornice on the summit ridge though. One week after we climbed it, one of my buddies went through the cornice and was stuck hanging on the rope. It took him 3 hours to get back on the ridge with skis and all... Very enjoyable though if you can avoid the cornice.
