The Torngats, in northern Labrador, include the highest Canadian peaks east of the Rockies on the continental mainland. Mt. Caubvick sit at 5420 feet. No glaciers, lifts, or civilisation, but some permanent year round snowpack.

The Torngrats are also some of the most unpredictable and dangerous mountains. No infrastructure or support, slow response to search and rescue.

I am pretty sure that, technically, there are no glaciers up there. Just what is referred to as permanent snowpack. Could be wrong though.
