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.  |
Probably an apt comparison...I'm referring to the common usage of the term I've known since my days at Dartmouth in the late 70's. It's always been Tuckerman Ravine to me.
Folks who used "Tuckerman's" were considered newbies who didin't know any better and they were often corrected on the spot.
In fact, I believe Dave Metsky asked the mods to correct another of Andy's threads for this reason.
