On Saturday, 6/4/05, Lftgly and I drove up the Auto Road, parked near the summit, and skied the East Snowfields on Mt. Washington. It was a beautiful day, sunny and warm. We got there early and there were not too many people; it filled up quickly though! We hiked over to the rim of the Great Gulf so Lftgly could get a run on Airplane Gully, which goes way down and is quite a hike back up. The snow was great...so happy I hadn't packed away my ski stuff yet. Sorry I don't have any pictures to post!

Nice pix, Riv!

Glad you got another trip in. It was still great on Wednesday, but noticable snow loss at the top by the time we drove back from GG on Friday.

I think this might be it. Things are fading fast and I can't go again until late next week.

Oh well. There's always next season. At least I went out with a bang.

Good to see Lftgly post here...I've never had the pleasure of joining him, but his knowledge of skiing around the MWV is immense and he takes great skiing pics too.

zowi420, UK and I have never been up to Tuck's...we were supposed to go up at the end of last season with a friend, but something came up and we couldn't make it. Maybe someday.....

No, sadly, I have never skied the bowl, my only trips to tucks being in the summer, but I am wondering, how did you know that? UK? UphillKlimber? Ya got me....
Whenever you're ready, I'm ready. We should start seeing the first flakes in about a month. I CAN'T WAIT!
