Kieners Route, Longs Peak. It's still waiting for a 1st descent. Trackhead, I know this will make you twitch. Still waiting for the right conditions. Last May the route was in it's prime for a ski descent. Haven't seen it look so good in many years.
It's the route in red:

Superstar is a bad mutha. I have turned back on that several times. The huge cornice at the top and the nail biting exposure is gripping. Got into one of the unnamed coulies off James a couple years ago and let's just say it got interesting. Wrong turn and you are going for a 400' cascade ride. There's some scary lines on that peak. Great snow climbs though.

I would imagine from the summit you could ski down to the step around over the diamond, but then you'd need to rap down to the staircase.
The staircase would obviously be awesome skiing down to the kiener's chimney's. But you'd probably have to rap down the chimneys down to broad way ledges. Walk over to Lambs slide, then descend down to Mills.
What do you think?

Great thread - my mouth is watering...
Looks like a trip north is in place
Closer look at the Superstar - the mandatory air looked fairly decent sized last May:
