TUCKERMAN RAVINE HAS CONSIDERABLE AVALANCHE DANGER. Natural avalanches are possible and human triggered avalanches are probable. Unstable slabs are probable. Be increasingly cautious in steeper terrain. The Little Headwall, in Tuckerman, has MODERATE avalanche danger. Natural avalanches are unlikely and human triggered avalanches are possible. Use caution in steeper terrain.

Here in Tuckermans it snowed all day yesterday, but with the high winds getting an accurate measurement was difficult. Today the winds are still high with lots of blowing snow coming in off the Boott Spur ridge.

Huntington Ravine is picking up some new snow, especially in the Escape Hatch and South Gully area. These two gully have CONSIDERABLE AVALANCHE DANGER today with the rest of the ravine having MODERATE AVALANCHE DANGER today. See above for descriptions.

THE LION'S HEAD WINTER ROUTE IS NOW OPEN. Follow the orange Lion Head signs off of the Tuckerman Ravine trail about 1.75 miles up from Pinkham. This is a difficult steep route so crampons, ice axe, and mountaineering skills are essential.

Coverage on the John Sherburne ski trail is improving but the waterbars are still not filled in and you should expect rocks in areas,just below the snow.

 
PLEASE REMEMBER:
 
• Any new precipitation may increase the avalanche danger, this includes wind transported snow.
 
• Obtain latest weather forecast before starting out.
 
• For more information, contact the U.S. Forest Service Snow Rangers: AMC at Pinkham Notch Visitor Center or Hermit Lake Shelters.
 
• This bulletin expires at midnight and the next avalanche bulletin will be issued tomorrow.
