Ryman McLane telemark skiing a steep gully near Tuckerman Ravine on Mount Washington. I’ve heard this gully called either Diagonal or Stovepipe and it’s located skier’s right of Dodge’s Drop. Whatever you want to call it, Diagonal or Stovepipe is steep and not often in good condition.

I’m not sure if this drainage has been skied before? It probably has, but it’s fun to check out unknown terrain. Photo is from February 24, 2009 and shows Ryman McLane telemark skiing a narrow/rocky drainage in the White Mountains of New Hampshire.
