We went for a walk up the White Queen ridge via Hummingbird Pass but decided to rip skins well before the top due to deteriorating vis and wind. We turned around roughly halfway between Hummingbird Pass and the summit. We had some nice tree skiing on the way down - deep powder that was producing some storm slab cookies up to about a square meter in places, and some sluffing on a couple steeper pitches. Didn’t observe any other signs of instability. Nice mellow day out!
