Great video!!! I can't wait to ski Tuckerman's Ravine in a few weeks. I am going to ski down the ravine, top to bottom totally butt naked! If it is chilly I may put a sock on Mr. Winky.

Just beautiful. Keep the videos coming guys. I can't wait to take a drive up there when you open up to the public in the spring. Been living in the Northeast for years, always fascinated by weather and yet to take the trip, but your videos have made up my mind. Can't wait. -devon
