The Icefall

This is the series of ice cliffs located in the center of The Bowl of Tuckerman Ravine. There are a number of lines possible here with airs ranging in various sizes. In high snow years. It’s possible to ski through one chute in the center of the icefall cleanly. Otherwise, it’s air time. A huck of the icefall is likely to get a cheer from the entire Ravine, and in the spring it’s common to see spectacular sends and wipe outs. Beware that in late spring, melt holes open up that you can fall into and become trapped under the snowpack, which has resulted in numerous accidents and some hair raising near misses.
