From the top of the Yankee Girl ski run proceed outside the Ski Area, zigzagging directly upwards to gain the pass. The ridge is narrow and offers spectacular views into Five Mile and of Ymir Peak. From here steep descents can be made into Five Mile Basin. To go to White Queen summit turn away from Ymir Peak and head NW along the ridge. The most popular option for the return journey is back down the ridge itself. Those looking for a long steep tree runs descend down to the road avoiding the avalanche bowl by descending the ridge about 100 meters. Some people ski from the North side of the summit into Five Mile, and then traverse on steep ground back to the ridge. Lastly an interesting descent which requires some route finding can be made to Hummingbird Pass in the Evening Ridge area.
