Summary
Conditions are variable, with early-morning crust giving way to softer turns by mid-day on sun-exposed slopes. An incoming system is forecasted to drop nearly 9 inches of fresh powder over the next 72 hours, with an additional inch expected into the 5-day outlook, making this a prime window for powder chasers. However, recent avalanche activity and deep snow layers demand heightened awareness and avalanche gear for anyone venturing above treeline.
Over 400 skiers flocked to the Ravine yesterday, half from out of state, underscoring its status as the East’s ultimate proving ground. The recent partial burial of a snowboarder in an avalanche and a tragic skier fatality after a 600-foot fall highlight the extreme nature of the terrain. While the Headwall beckons, don’t let the early-season hype override caution—check daily avalanche forecasts, travel with a buddy, and stay within your skill level. For those prepared, Tuckerman Ravine offers an unforgettable backcountry experience in peak form this week.
