Replying to Hiking Mt. Washington/ Tuckerman... need suggestions

Hi Guys,

I have been wanting to ski Mt Washington/ Tuckerman Ravine for a few years now. I want to make sure I am well prepared and have the right gear/ equipment.

Few questions I have:
-What time of the year should I go?
-Am I able to skin the majority of it?
-Are crampons required?
-Do I need to bring Ice Axe?
-What other equipment is a must?

Any feedback would be appreciated! My uncle wants to go also, but I am also not sure on his skill level.

Thanks guys!
