Summary
The snowpack sits at 12 inches—just 62% of the seasonal average—creating variable terrain across the iconic bowl. While fresh snow is on the way, with 1.7 inches forecasted in the next 24 hours and up to 5 inches expected over the next five days, skiers and riders should anticipate predominantly hardpack and wind-affected surfaces today. With limited coverage and early-season hazards still present, route-finding and snowpack awareness are critical.
Recent events underscore the high-risk environment: reports detail a snowboarder outrunning an avalanche and another losing critical gear while self-arresting. Additionally, multiple rescues and a tragic fatality have prompted warnings from the Mount Washington Avalanche Center, including full closures in recent days due to overcrowding and unstable conditions. Skiers should exercise extreme caution, travel in knowledgeable groups, and check avalanche forecasts before entering the backcountry. While Tuckerman remains a legendary descent, today it demands respect and preparation more than ever.
