Some of our favorite clips from NH and Western Maine
The chase for first tracks found us in the Great Gulf off Mt. Washingont's northern shoulder. The Great Gulf has some of the most steep, harrowing and no-fall runs on all of Mt. Washington. One of the truly classic lines is Pipeline. On this day, we were first to find the line and it was smooth as butter with a 2 inch soft cover of fresh snow (and converting to wild corn!). Incredible snow in a classic line.
The high alpine zones of New Hampshire's White Mountains offer a wide spectrum of variable skiing, and even more variable weather. Watch Ben, Louise Lintilhac and Brooks Motley tag powdery chutes and slushy bowls during two days of completely opposite conditions in the Northern Presidential Range.
More footage from Winter 2017. I'll be releasing edits throughout the spring on each tour. ### FIND ME ### web: http://www.skithewhites.com instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sr_drummond/ facebook: https://www.facebook.com/adrummond strava: https://www.strava.com/athletes/1636529 snap: sr_drummond
Incredible day up at Tuckerman Ravine. Was able to check off a lot of firsts today, including hucking the headwall icefall. Skied left/right gully, a few variations of the chute, the headwall, and the snowfields. instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sr_drummond/ facebook: https://www.facebook.com/adrummond strava: https://www.strava.com/activities/286806120 snap: sr_drummond
Skied a full day up at Tuckerman Ravine - Three runs in the snowfields, down the lip, up the Chute, down the Headwall, up Left Gully, down Dodge's (skier's left entry with FIRM snow), and out the base of Hillman's until the snow ran out on the Sherburne. Strava: http://bit.ly/1SsU6FN
In this first episode, Ben Leoni explains his motivations for starting the project and why the hell a certified ski bum decided to become a hard working attorney. With friends tagging along he endures the highs and lows of Eastern skiing: ice, wind, rain, and the occasional "perfect" day, all while hiking and shredding down the steepest, most iconic backcountry location in the region: Tuckerman Ravine, Mount Washington, NH.
