Watch: Six Minutes of Hardcore Skiing at Tuckerman Ravine

Last winter, Tuckerman Ravine went off. Or, at least, it did for Andrew Drummond, who recently shared an edit of his time spent skiing around Mt. Washington, New Hampshire, last winter. The footage largely comes from the Tuckerman and Huntington Ravines.

If you’re in need of Northeast inspiration, look no further—this one’s got it all.

As any North American skier can tell you, the West gets much of the attention from backcountry skiers. Outside the boundaries of famed ski resorts, there are countless lines and routes to tackle on imposing, towering peaks. But while the mountains are smaller, the Northeast has its own scene, too.

Tuckerman Ravine is a big part of that. According to the Appalachian Mountain Club, the first documented ski of the bowl happened in 1913 when Dartmouth students Fred Harris, Joseph Cheney, and Carl Shumway gave it a shot.

Since then, the Ravine, which boasts steep and technical skiing, has become a springtime hotspot. Without fail each year, footage emerges of skiers joyously carving the slush and, in some cases, biting off more than they can chew. You can certainly take a hearty tumble.

While spring is the busiest season, Drummond’s video proves that, if you know your stuff, you can also ski the zone during the winter. The snow, of course, is the best when the weather’s colder, but the avalanche risk is also higher. 

The Mount Washington Avalanche Center provides winter forecasts for the area. White Mountain Ski Co. also has a great introductory guide for Tuckerman Ravine curious skiers.
