First off, a big thank you to Josh LeMay for leading the Avy Kit Workshop on the 26th. If you'd like to be on the short list for the next one, please sign up here. After a full reset from the Grinch Storm, we're building back a base for backcountry skiing and riding. With an increase in traffic at Pinkham Notch, it's great news to hear that there was no major incidents, but hazards are still there.Thanks for the feedback last week and a couple links passed along from listeners:NWS Winter Weather - via Philip MalloyClimate Reanalyzer - via Jordan Fields

MWAC Outreach Apr 04 2020 - Tucks is Closed

Tuckerman Ravine and the rest of the Cutler River Drainage Area is officially closed as of April 2nd. We discuss what went into making this decision and why skirting this area to ski other zones in the backcountry is a bad idea. Local resorts also closed down access for uphilling. Don't forget to take batteries out of your beacon and give your skis a wax.Want to sponsor future podcasts?
