Did anybody do any backcountry around here this year?

Just tuckerman ravine...

Will be doing Tuck's if that's still considered back country.

A bunch in VT, around Jay, a weekend at Cardigan, plus a ski into Bondcliff along the Wilderness Trail. GOS/Tuckermans to come. Not a great year, but there was good skiing to be had.

You guys have to promise not to laugh.
I skinned to the top of mighty Bretton Woods. I'm lucky to be alive to tell the tale!
I am ashamed to say that is the only time this year my skins have seen action.

Poked around a bunch up in Northern VT when it was good. And it was at times.

What are the conditions at Tuck's this year. I've heard that they didn't get enough precipitation to fill in the crevasses and boulders. Is that bunk?

Yep. Its bunk. The ski out is in horrible condition but the bowl looks just fine, maybe a little lean on snow but everything is still skiable. Mt. Washington is actually 50+ inches in snowfall this year.
