Cross Couloir on the Mount of the Holy Cross and Bell Chord Couloir on between the Maroon Bells both offer big, steep lines without any mountaineering requirements, although I'd advise crampons and an ice axe for both. Camp at the base and climb the couloir at dawn in both cases, so you can check the snow conditions and bail down if it's warming up faster than you're getting to the top.
