New England received several inches of rain yesterday, but sometime after dark it turned to snow and would expect to see snow on the mountains for most of the month of May. The annual pilgrimage to Tuckermans' Ravine should be no problem through the month of June. It is not uncommon for these hardy souls to hike Mount Washington in Early July with their skis and enjoy a summer days skiing with plenty of snow left in this protected bowl. If you hike this time of year it is not unusual to find several climate changes along the trail, especially if you go above the tree line as many of the 4,000+ foot peaks offer near by.
An area broker and I have had a standing deal for the past several years, we ski on the last day of the season at Loon Mountain then get in the car and travel 30 minutes in the afternoon for a round of golf. Sadly that didn't happen this year, we skied but golf would have been an hour away with the amount of snow we had gotten this year. So the Tradition was Broken, but we toasted to the effort none the less.
