Summary
Overnight temperatures dropped to a crisp 25.4°F, helping preserve the existing 12-inch snowpack. While current snow depths sit at just 55% of the seasonal average, skiers can look forward to a much-needed refresh—a total of 5 inches of new snow is forecasted over the next five days, with 4.11 inches expected in the next 72 hours alone. Though snowfall in the past 24 hours was a modest 0.14 inches, conditions are gradually building toward better coverage, particularly for those eyeing backcountry runs later in the week.
However, visitors should approach with caution. Several recent incidents—including a 600-foot skier fall and a snowboarder surviving an avalanche—underscore the inherent risks of this iconic terrain. The Mount Washington Avalanche Center has issued a notice of full closure for the ravine, likely due to the presence of dangerous crevasses and overcrowding concerns. While ambitious skiers have already laid down the first lines of the season, current instability and restricted access mean the backcountry remains off-limits for now. Keep a close eye on official advisories, as Tuckerman Ravine prepares for a potentially powerful return to form with the incoming snow.
