Summary

While conditions remain skiable, the terrain is firm and icy, with crusted layers dominating most aspects. The next 24 hours offer a modest 0.23 inches of snow, with hopes of a more substantial refresh later this week—up to 1.59 inches forecasted over 72 hours. However, given the current snowpack deficit, fresh powder will do little to stabilize underlying hazards.

Recent incidents underscore the precarious nature of midwinter skiing in the Ravine. A series of avalanches, including one triggered by a snowboarder who narrowly escaped injury, have rocked the region, prompting Mount Washington Avalanche Center to officially close access to Tuckerman Ravine. Rescues from icefalls, head injuries from exposed rock, and full avalanche burials have made headlines this week alone. Despite these dangers, a handful of thrill-seekers continue to push boundaries, but all skiers are strongly advised to respect closures, avoid unsupported snow arches, and carry full avalanche gear. For now, Tuckerman is more a reminder of alpine respect than a powder playground.
