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.

Meathead Films skiers Ben Leoni and Stacey Rachdorf heading up into Tuckerman Ravine on Mount Washington, New Hampshire. I have to comment that I was really impressed…

I thought about not naming this location because backcountry skiers usually like to keep their “stashes” secret. But to be honest, the skiing in this drainage isn’t that great; you would need a huge snow year to really cover the rocks and ice. Nevertheless, it’s still a fun place to explore. Taken in March of…
