Tuckerman Ravine late in the winter in a good snow year. Similar conditions are likely this year, too. (ED PARSONS PHOTO)

Here we are in the winter. I briefly talked to Jeff Fongenie this Friday morning. He is a U.S. Forest Service snow ranger who works on the east side of Mount Washington.

He said that much more snow is needed up there for normal winter conditions. For backcountry skiers, Left Gully is the only option in the ravine. “People have been skiing Left Gully off and on since late October,” he said.
