i also hope there will be enough snow, and tuckermans in general is fun, just ski everything you can

oh, and i don't think hilmans highway is part of tuckermans, it is slightly to the left

If you're gonna do it, do it in April. It's warm, but there is still a lot of snow, and it is a lot safer. Headwall is pretty ridiculous, and the left gulley is cool too.

Tuckermans is the best place to go after all the lifts have shut down. I went there during easter weekend with a couple of friends last year, and we got this amazingly sunny, warm day. The hike is a little tough with the huge backpack...but totally worth it once you get up there. Its like out west. However, i heard that the snow melted on the trail that you ski down to get to the base, and that ski ride down was a lot easier then hiking out after all the hiking to the top.

How do you think it will be in late may? Because I gotta wait until my shoulder heals before I can even think of hiking it and that's the earliest I can ski.

Drop the headwall rocks and shit, and if you get there late enough in the season, a crevase has formed so if you don't hit them with enough speed you fall in, its some motivation to go fast enough. Make sure to talk to the rangers at hojos, they have the latest and best conditions report, and if they tell you to avoid it, avoid it; you aren't missing out on anything good.
