Skied the teddy bear trees between acidophilus and black queen. The snow is still soft but more consolidated than it was earlier in the week. It clearly warmed significantly through the week even in the deep trees. There were more and more tree bombs as we descended. To get back to the resort we skied the trees between White Queen and worth it. There was a significant sun crust that grabbed skis and made for tricky riding. No signs of instability seen but we were skiing very low angle.
