Once again mission completed

I be the newbie and you be the olebie,
And I’ll be in Tuckermans afore ye.
But me and my true love will never meet again,
On the bonnie, bonnie banks o’ Tuckerman.

I wonder if it's a similar thing to Jackson Hole. JH was named for trapper Davey Jackson and for many years it was called Jackson's Hole, changed somewhere along the line to Jackson Hole.

From now on I promise I will always refer to it as Tuckerman Ravine.

Hmm... I could see why they would probably want to stop calling it Jackson's Hole

Now, if it was Tuckerwoman's Ravine... it'd be a lot more enticing

LMAO....I can't get the moniker "the Salty Dog Poet" out of my mind.

Andy... looks like, after much debate, we are headed to saddleback on saturday, and we'll leave sunday open depending on the weather...

Item of note, was up the Carters on Monday, and the ridge lines have anywhere from 3-10 ft of packed in snow, was up the Lafayette ridge this morning and there is only about 20% of the snow there as was over in the Carters...

I haven't seen any first hand reports recently but this late in the game it is generally not worth it compared to the Ravine.
