Tuckermans Ravine Memorial Day Weekend

[andyzee]

Once again mission completed


I be the newbie and you be the olebie,
And I’ll be in Tuckermans afore ye.
But me and my true love will never meet again,
On the bonnie, bonnie banks o’ Tuckerman. :lol:

:lol: sorry Jim, don't mean to drive you crazy. Here is one that uses Andy's reference
http://tvl1.geo.uc.edu/ice/Image/eroland/198-6.html

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.

Hmm... I could see why they would probably want to stop calling it Jackson's Hole

Now, if it was Tuckerwoman's Ravine... it'd be a lot more enticing

LMAO....I can't get the moniker "the Salty Dog Poet" out of my mind.

Andy... looks like, after much debate, we are headed to saddleback on saturday, and we'll leave sunday open depending on the weather...

Item of note, was up the Carters on Monday, and the ridge lines have anywhere from 3-10 ft of packed in snow, was up the Lafayette ridge this morning and there is only about 20% of the snow there as was over in the Carters...

How's Hillmans?

How's Hillmans?

I haven't seen any first hand reports recently but this late in the game it is generally not worth it compared to the Ravine.

 

[snoseek]

hillman's bit the dust. you could maybe patch together a few turns there but that would be a waste of energy. like i said, snow is going real fast.

 

[andyzee]

Damn, looked so good just 2 weeks agao?

Cool, did you get any turns in? Or just hiking around? :-D

 

[andyzee]

Got a couple of runs in and then it started raining, so we split. Got tons of pic from both Tucks and Mt. Washington Summit, I'll post them when I get a chance to upload. There was some nice,although limited, skiing on Mt. Washington in the Great Gulf area.
