Skiing Tuckermans in the winter is basically asking to die. It is a stupid idea, especially after all the snow we’ve gotten in the last few weeks. I live nearby and we literally have 3+ feet of really fluffy powder on the ground. This is perfect conditions for avalanches.

That’s EXACTLY what I said when I heard about it this morning. Who skis Tuck’s before April?

You can be reasonably safe in tucks and huntington in the winter

One of my father’s friends died in an avalanche in the 1980s on Mt. Washington in April. The mountains are very unforgiving.
