I just (late August) came back from Norway where I was near, but did not go
to where I could ski on a glacier. I didn't have much time and assumed it
would be lousy skiing (ice in the morning slush by midday). Has anyone
skied on a glacier in the summer there or Whistler Blackcomb or else where?
How was it?

I've skied on St. Mary's Glacier here in Colorado several times.
Usually in July and August. I've also skied some of the snowfields
around here in Summit and Park Counties.

St. Mary's stays pretty hard all day since it rarely gets hit by the
sun. It's mainly sun cups so it's not great for skiing. The best
thing to do is take some gates and a few friends. If you keep skiing
the same line it shaves off the sun cups and you can do some pretty
good slalom skiing after a few runs.
