Glad you guys got out of there unscathed, conditions went from spectacular to sub par pretty quickly in the bowl. Hopefully there will be a few springs storms to make conditions better again. Glad your kids had a fun time despite the conditions! :)Chris Daileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00225481004115172981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4279365566627462854.post-23918885045873416652018-02-26T12:07:08.622-05:002018-02-26T12:07:08.622-05:00Hello Chris- Awesome photos and report - as always...Hello Chris- Awesome photos and report - as always. Thank you! It is amazing how quickly the snow just disappeared throughout the area. I saw you just this past weekend on the Tuckerman Ravine Trail. Yes, I was the idiot with the skis - and the whole family with skis/snowboard, in fact! We had been in Fryeburg just the weekend prior for a XC Ski race and the Presidentials were beautiful! Resplendent in their bright white snow cover! So that and the Avalanche Center posting that the Sherburne Trail was "snow covered and skiable", we brought all our snow toys up into the Ravine on Friday. At least that was the plan. We made it to HoJo's (where you and Sarge caught up with us) and realized the skiing was going to be survival, at best, so left the gear there and at least got a good view from the Little Headwall. And yep, it was survival skiing down and the snowboard eventually became a sled... but the kids were awesome and made the absolute best of horrific conditions. Everyone got back to the parking lot intact, thankfully, and with the huge smiles and exhilaration that comes from knowing you just flirted with grievous bodily harm and got away with it. Not the adventure we had hoped to have, but an adventure nonetheless. Cheers!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14708110802731573723noreply@blogger.com
