White Mountain National Forest Service Close Section of Tuckerman Ravine Due to Spring Snowmelt

Annual spring snowmelt creates significant glide cracks, or crevasses, and undermined snow in the Lip area of Tuckerman Ravine, NH so we’ve had to close a section of the Tuckerman Ravine Trail where it passes through the Lip as a safety measure. These restrictions are necessary for public safety and to protect National Forest property. This relatively short section stretches from Lunch […]

Washington off my summit list, but most importantly recon some ski terrain in and around Tuckerman Ravine. Matt and I got an early start from Vermont and arrived at Hermit Lake by 9am where we would camp for the evening.
