Tuckerman

 I've never skied Tuckerman Ravine on Mount Washington myself. Never seriously considered it.  I have friends who have, one in particular who grew up in Gorham and skied it often. He still skis at 72, just finishing a vacation at Gore Mountain in the Adirondacks where he skied 15 straight days, opening to closing. This is where they just had the gondola breakdown two weeks ago, which he just missed.  His was the last gondola that could be exited before it ground to a halt, stranding over 5 dozen skiers aloft. 

So he is still having adventures.  He skied for the US Army in Germany in the 70s and works for some unexplainable Minotaur AI defense intelligence company in Virginia now. His eye is on retirement to get back to the Adirondacks. I don't quite know how I got distracted into this.  I was talking about Tuckerman's.

I can see why you would want to ski it in the summer, when it is the only place in the East with snow year-round. I don't get choosing a workout like this in February, when you could get in more skiing anywhere with a lift. Wildcat is right across the highway. I'm grateful there are GoPro cameras that can give me a vague idea of the experience.
