So 420 rolls around and what better activity to engage in than skiing...of course. Turned out to be a sick day sunny and 55 and there was still a sick line through the head wall. Check out the vid, the last two skiers are myself and my friend skiing a pretty exposed line through the head wall area. He's first I'm second.

yes, it would be possible to build a hit off those rocks, and by doing that it would be possible to DIE. that terrain is very steep(50 degrees) and those rocks are very high up, if you fall, your goin to the bottom. It is sweet on a powder day, however, they have avalanches, that also kill people. I was lucky, and got a powder day, without any avalanche danger. this is rare.My powder day was deep, and heavy where the sun hit it, that is why the avalche danger was so low. in the shade, the snow was still light and fluffy, but fun werever you skied.

Nice vid. I kno its not that smart to make a kicker on one of those rocks but what about lower down on the mountain where you guys like stopped? You think you could make a decent size booter? i Couldnt really tell from the vid but does the slope mellow out there? That would be hot for like a May session-ski a sick line and then hit a nice big kicker.
Keep, Keep on truckin' Yeah...Good Stuff

When I read about the evils of drinking, I gave up reading.

sit booboo sit. Good dog.

I didnt even watch the vid and probably wont, but I can feel confident I can say this without watching...The video doesnt do it justice.

I live in CO now, but I grew up skiing tucks and I can honestly say its sketchy no matter what time of year.

The last time I skied it was like 4 years ago in February. There was like 4 people there maybe. Me and another kid from VT hiked up over the headwall in chest deep snow. We had to keep probing as we climbed too because there are streams that run under the snow and create little crevices. Skiing down was scary for a minute because all you see as youre coming over the main headwall is sky. It just keeps rlling over until finally you drop into the bowl and then its just fucking steep.

I doubt anyone here could ski the headwall switch, and to anyone who has been there or grown up in the area takes that as almost an insult.

meh, the camera probably makes it look less steep than it is, but you guys do a lot of hop turns. But I've never been there, so...

actually, the east coast is way under-rated. i've been doing a lot of 'back-country' gladed runs out here this season, and there are actually some sick hills. tuckermanns is just as hairy as 90% of the shit out west
