Tuckerman's

[LineSki15]

Hey everyone,
Just read the favorite terrain thread and Tuckerman's came up.
I would love to try Tuck's, but there is no way in hell I would attempt to do it with my rag tag buddies alone, we've only been to ski resorts, no backcountry experience at all.
Are there any Tucks veterans out that can offer advice on attempting (or not attempting) to ski it?
I know that you have to ski it in the Spring and that there are multiple ways down.
It seem like it would be such a rush.

Yeah that thread Greg linked helped a lot.

I like the idea of getting a trip going out there.

Mt. Washington range..

Stop by the AMC Center @Pinkham for a map or two, there's a lot of terrific terrain around the area.

*Greg,
My $.02, but...I think a group meeting @Pinkham-->Tuckerman would be great....like sometime in April...??? (That is, if we don't get rained out)
