Tuckerman's Ravine

most def, you can't half ass it though, you're gunna be at the top and be like "what the fuck am i doing?" the first few times but after that it gets better i reccomend doing it in april so you can ski all the way back to your car instead of hiking down, just remember to plan for the worst because i've been on mount washington when it was about 60 degrees and sunny and about half hour later it was a blizzard, and people do die there so keep your shit together respect the mountain, plan right and you'll be fine
 
yeah deff i am at plymouth sate this year soo i was just tryin to find some ppl that know what there talking about with this

thanks alot
 
it is absolutely worth it. one of my favorite things to do when i happen to be back east in late march, april or early may.
 
i've done it.

i didnt like it very much because i had 2 infected toes, but if i wasnt in my situation it would have been alot of fun.
 
It should be on every east coaster's list of places to go each season. The hike isn't that bad and it is really fun when you do it in late March or early April when you can ski all the way down.
 
I would say it is a two mile hike to get to the headwall. The roads dont go up it all but if u go early enough you can ski down all the way, and dont have to walk back down.
 
Tuckermans and Huntingtons Ravines are the shit!!!!

We used to ski it with my old ski team. We used to stash our skis up there over nights and hike down every day though as there wasn't enough lodging in those cabins up there.

i clicked on that link... it doesn't look that gnarly, unless it's just a lot steeper then the pics give it credit for.. but it looks like the stuff i ski here around utah all the time. i dont know why he would ask "what the fuck am i doing?" but hey, if i'm wrong or don't know something about it then let me know.. whats suppossed to be so gnarly about it?
 
most deff, the ride down is really quick and fun but the hike up is actually kinda scary it gets really steep
 
When i did it I hiked right up the face. Coming down wasent scary but hiking was. You know if u fall ur not gonna stop until u get to the bottom. I am way more confident with my skis on then trying to hang on carying all my shit.
 
there's areas where it reaches 60+ degrees and some of the lines require air time, if you fall, you're not stopping until the bottom of the wall, and there's mad rocks and shit
 
its some scary shit. left gully i believe its called is close to 55 degrees. i think its scarier hiking up.
 
agreed, its pee-your-pants-scary hiking up, especially early in the morning and its all ice, and when you kick steps and only get about 2 inches of purchase
 
yeah here is a shot from when i hiked it that kinda shows how steep it is.
