I think you could add Columbia to this. I've done the SE ridge twice in the winter and it's about as avy friendly as you can get. It is long but the miles are mostly easy.
Thank you. Looking at the photos of the route, it does appear to be mostly a ridge walk.

If it's helpful, a resource I have used is Dave Cooper's book, "Colorado Snow Climbs."
I should be on a mountain
