Eastern Snowfields

This is a great way to ski from Mount Washington into Tuckerman Ravine. The Eastern Snowfields start a few hundred feet shy of the summit of Mount Washington, right near the auto road. The easiest way to get there is to climb Right Gully and follow Lion’s Head Trail to the snowfields and trend right. From the summit. Ski down the initial hundred feet of the auto road and look for a pull off that gets near the edge. The Eastern Snowfields offer beautiful, wide open turns high above everything else in New England. Hang a hard skiers right traverse to gain access to the Tuckerman Ravine. It’s easy to ski right over to The Lip or any of the South Facing lines.
