Ride Reports

Sun, 03/03/2013 Tuckerman Ravine
3/3 Tuckerman
Temperature: 20F
Conditions:

Wildcat reported 17 inches on Wednesday and each day after had a few inches. Wind was not bad relative to how it can get in the Ravine. Snow was wind blown, but the turns were fresh. Light was flat until we strapped in for the first run.... then we got some fun in the sun.

Route: Skinned up the Ravine trail and booted up from Little Headwall. Took a bunch of runs through Right Gully. We were cautious due to avalanches in the previous days... one death. Bummer. But overall a great day hiking and riding with friends.

2/9-2/10
Temperature: 6F
Sat: We probably got 8-12" since the prior Friday afternoon. It was cold, so the snow was super light. Was in the line before the lifts opened. We got the goods in the morning. But considering... 1) Light snow on an ice cube that we have as a base 2) Saturday mid season crowds (despite the...

Conditions:

Heavy! But it was needed to cover the minimal base that this season left us in April.

Sniffle Sniffle Cough Cough If it is snowing... TAKE IT OFF! Late season midweek "powder" (heavy ass fresh snow) day.

Sleeveless Saturday
Ingredients: 1) A mostly hot March 2) Freezing temperatures the last week 3) Some precipitation in the last week 4) Predicted temperatures hovering around 30 F I was planning on a nice hike/tour leading to some bulletproof skid turns... I was so wrong. Results: Our crew left the Pinkham Notch...

Surprise 5
Temperature: 27F
Conditions:

5 inches on top of Thursday's 60 F. Cloudy, snowy, and sunny.

We awoke to 5 extra inches and a wine headache. Pleasant refresh to the trees. Got some 1st tracks early. Not bottomless turns, but an awesome day to be light on the edges.
