| Snow is plentiful, temps holding up nicely, been in 70s here in NJ, staying in the teens and low 20s up on Washington. Should be great conditions in 2 weeks, can't wait! Anyone considering it: Just Do It!

| How insane would it be for someone to make a trip of it from Michigan to do Tuckerman Ravine? I know I can't fit it in this year, with all the other plans I have in my hopper, but I'd love to put this on my bucket list, but somehow, I think its Nuts!

| The following is quoted from Backcountry Skiing Adventures, Tuckerman Ravine.  :Falling If you fall when skiing or snowboarding, get your skis or snowboard downhill. attempt to self-arrest by setting your steel edges hard into the slope, and/or driving the tip of your ski pole into the snow and putting your weight on it like an ice axe. Then breathe deep, say three Hail Mary's, and pray.
