Summary
With overnight temperatures dipping to a brisk 11.6°F and a modest 5-inch snowpack—just over 50% of average for this time of year—conditions are thin and variable. While base coverage remains limited, forecasts bring a glimmer of hope: 0.38 inches of snow expected in the next 72 hours and potentially up to 2 inches in the next five days. These light refreshes may not make for deep powder days, but they’ll help preserve the existing base and improve edge hold on steeper descents. Expect icy patches and exposed rock in steeper terrain—use caution when navigating the bowl.
The buzz around Tuckerman Ravine is heating up despite the light snowpack. Recent news highlights include a series of skier-triggered avalanches and dramatic rescues, underscoring the unpredictable and dangerous nature of early-season skiing here. A section of the Ravine has even been closed due to hazardous crevasse formation. If you're heading up, be avalanche-aware and check current reports before venturing out. Still, the spirit of the Ravine lives on—thrill-seekers and seasoned locals are finding pockets of skiable terrain and even pulling off big airs, proving winter is very much alive on Mount Washington.
