PINKHAM NOTCH — In any other year, overflowing parking lots in Pinkham Notch, would have been the norm in early spring. After all, when the lifts close, skiers and riders flock to Tuckerman Ravine, one of the most popular backcountry ski destinations in the East. However, this is not a typical year.

Ski areas throughout the country are closed, and skiers and riders are flocking earlier and in greater numbers to the well-loved backcountry terrain in Tuckerman Ravine.

Its about time to limit movement, Go to the store and bank and gas is fine and even Doc's and pharmacy. LOCALLY. If you drive up from any where you should sent home where its safe for you and me. I wont put you at risk and you wont do it to me. But alas if I have money and you dont, Ill do what I want.
