Tuckerman Ravine April 2025

Dodge's / Hillman's & General Conditions

The summit snowfields of mt washington

Today was a hot spring day with temps hitting 40ºF on the summit, much nicer than what was offered this weekend! For those still looking to get out, the following info will certainly be helpful. 

-The TRT is free of snow until ~1 mile in. I still would recommend leaving the skins at home unless you want to load them up with pine needles and debris (or want to skin around the the snowfields). 
-Both Hillman's and Tuckerman Ravine offer the best skiing with full top to bottom skiing. Crampons are HIGHLY RECOMMENDED, witness a long sliding fall with a guy in microspikes.
-The Mt Washington Auto Road is open for those looking to slack (check here for road status). Airplane is running strong as well as the top section of pipeline, I would even say Diagonal would be worth peeking into for the adventurous.
-The Sherb is roped off to the upper cutoff and honestly not worth it given the rock exposure but if you want to do it, you can certainly pick your way down. It took us 8 mins to hike the TRT down to that section. 
-Tues / Wed / Thurs all look like excellent days to tick off more spring ski days!
