While current conditions are thin, the forecast brings cautious optimism with 7 inches of fresh snow expected over the next 120 hours. Skiers should keep expectations in check; the snowpack remains delicate, and early-season hazards like exposed rock and icy surfaces persist, especially on the Headwall and upper chutes.
Recent headlines underscore the heightened risks in the Ravine. Multiple avalanche incidents and tragic falls have plagued the early season, with several injuries and fatalities reported over the last month. Avalanche activity has been triggered even by experienced skiers, and rescue operations have been frequent. While the allure of Mount Washington's rugged terrain remains high—drawing over 400 skiers in a single day—skiers are urged to prioritize safety. Check avalanche forecasts, carry proper gear, and consider less exposed terrain until snow conditions stabilize.
