Absolutely! Anyone is allowed to ski or snowboard on Mount Washington (there are a lot of different places on the mountain), but there are a lot of dangers associated with it. This is true backcountry skiing and proper experience and equipment is needed to do it safely.
Temperatures on this day were in the upper 30's, which is pretty typical for that time of year. Temperatures during the middle of the summer (July and August) average in the 40's.
The noise you're hearing is coming from two sources. It's either the snow flying from us making turns, or it's the noise the snow makes when it is "sluffing". In the spring and early summer when the snow is very wet and has turned to "corn snow" (basically just little granules of ice and snow, it will very easily flow down a steep slope. It's not really an avalanche but it's kind of similar.
I am from SE Georgia I am guessing that sports like this wear you out huh?
