Tuckerman Ravine, 2 Day Trip in April

[andyzee]

Well, figure it's time to start plannin an out to Tuckerman Ravine. Few of us got together last year and had a great time. This year I'd like to do it earlier in the season and spend the night up there. Who's in, and what dates would be good for you?

I will be up there in April for sure but date planning does not happen for me until the week of at the earliest with a go no-go decision not happening until the day before.

Yeah, I can see that. Weather and conditions can make a difference in planning. However, figure it's a good idea to put it out there and hopefully get a few folks interested. We can plan on a date, begining of April may be good. And if weather looks bad one week, just push it back. But, gotta start with something.

I'm in...but same as what Riv said....

I would not be available the first weekend....

 

[andyzee]

Just trying to put a stake in the ground. How's the second weekend? I would suggest arriving on a Friday and staying into Saturday or a Sunday and staying into Monday.

I'll start going after all the lifts are shut down.

I'm def going prior to the Sherburne trail closing. That slog out on foot is not the best way to end the day.

I know djspookman is planning an early April trip.

Probably end up going mid to late April this year.. Also May...

I like to go Wednesday night and get a shelter Thursday and stay though Saturday - with Sunday as an extra if it's really good..

I can any weekend in April... (or may, or june)

Also, TGR is having a huge gathering there the second weekend of April. Not sure if you guys consider that a good or bad thing... it would definitely be cool to see what some of them throw down.

And... my vote is for early April. I want the Sherbie to be skiable. Plus I want to ski the headwall / maybe huck the icefall. You guys want to see me completely wreck off the headwall, right?!:lol:

But yeah, I'll be on Mt. Washington basically ever weekend from once it starts to warm up until the snow melts as long as the weather is good. So it all doesn't really matter that much to me.

Well, no question about it, need to bring the camcorder :lol:

I'm currently on the calendar for the last weekend in March and the second weekend in April.

Andy, can't make April 2 since that's a weekday. Otherwise, aside from April 5, I'm free on April weekends. I'm looking forward to this -- again!

:lol: Oops, my mistake, the Subject does make it look like April 2. I meant a 2 day trip in April, asked the mods to change. riverc0il is right, kind of hard to make plans. I say it's a good idea to just plan for sometime in April, get up some interest and then try to figure it out as we get closer. I would like to still go while we could ski down, and definetly like to make it an overnighter.

Ahhh, gotcha!

Anyways, I'm in for whatever. I'll be in the Washington Valley the first weekend of March. I'm thinking of hiking up to at least HoJo's and scoping out the place. If I get stupid enough, I'll hike up to the bowl itself and see what I can get down on. Otherwise, I'll ski the Sherburne and tell stories about how I schussed the headwall. I'll be going by myself so that limits the craziness that I'll do.

First we had Lewis and Clark checking out the wilderness, now AlpineZone has SnowMonster. Take pictures kimosabe! Wish I could join you, but I'll be stuck, you know where.

Ah, yes. Methinks I will search for the Northwest Passage...

Pictures? I can take 'em but I'll need li'l SM's help to post 'em. Take care of Vee and tell us stories about champagne pow!

I'm interested. Put me down as a maybe. It'll be a last minute thing.

Looks like I'm probably heading up first or second weekend in April.

Have wanted to do Tux since I first heard about it. That time frame looks pretty good. Could someone post a personal checklist(a link will do). Also a group checklist might be a good idea for stuff like charcoal, beer, ect. Seems like a good way to do HoJo's with a lil' AZ stylee. (IMHO)

The following is a check list for a day trip. Obviously for an overnighter, you want to add camping gear. http://timefortuckerman.com/checklist.html
