"Skiing Mount Washington is usually reserved for April, May, or June, depending on the year, with the warm spring weather lowering the avalanche risk. Throughout the winter months, the ravine, and all skiing on the mountain, is usually left for the more intense backcountry skiers with the proper training, knowledge, and gear."
"That said, it's important to remember that Tuckerman Ravine and Mount Washington is proper backcountry and faces plenty of avalanches throughout the winter. Do not attempt to hike or ski without the proper training, gear, and experience."
Tuckerman Ravine on Mount Washington attracts hundreds of skiers and snowboarders each spring who hike to the summit for runs in the iconic bowl. Skiing is typically restricted to April through June when warmer weather reduces avalanche risk. During winter months, the ravine remains accessible only to experienced backcountry skiers with proper training and equipment. Andrew Drummond, an experienced skier, successfully navigated Chute Variation South on March 3rd, capturing powder turns on one of several descent routes. Winter conditions at Tuckerman Ravine present significant avalanche hazards, making proper preparation essential for anyone attempting to ski or hike the mountain.
