Are there USFS Snow Rangers and Ski Patrol at the Ravine?
Tuckerman Ravine is managed by the U.S. Forest Service. Snow Rangers from the White Mountain National Forest are responsible for evaluating avalanche and other potential hazards in the Tuckerman Ravine area. This information is well posted and easy to obtain. Follow all advisories carefully. Members of the Mount Washington Volunteer Ski Patrol and Appalachian Mountain Club caretakers working at Hermit Lake also help with management of the Ravine. Their role is to provide information to visitors and assist in Search and Rescue operations. In addition, the Appalachian Mountain Club operates the Hermit Lake Shelters.
