Skied off the very tippy top of the 6288' summit then all the way to the 2028' parking lot, with only a 500' downhike at treeline.  Weather conditions were perfect.  Skiing conditions ranged from perfect to impressively absurd, i.e., bring your wife's rock skis (especially on the lower third of the 1800' vert below-treeline ski trail).

Since then, a bit of warm weather & rain, but also more cold temps and snow.  Winter ski conditions essentially arrived this season above treeline in mid October, and won't be leaving until sometime in May.

And here's the picture I always take looking back into Tuckerman Ravine as I skin under the East Snowfield traversing toward the NE Snowfield:

Nicely done, Jonathan. Thanks for the bringing the East Coast stoke!
