Tuckerman Ravine, Mountain valley in White Mountains, United States.
Located on Mount Washington's southeast face, Tuckerman Ravine features steep slopes ranging from 40 to 55 degrees and accumulates natural snowpack up to 55 feet deep.
The ravine gained recognition when Dartmouth students Fred Harris, Joseph Cheney, and Carl Shumway completed the first documented ski descent in 1913.
The Civilian Conservation Corps constructed eight trails in Pinkham Notch and Tuckerman Ravine during the 1930s, establishing the area as a winter recreation destination.
Access begins at the AMC Visitor Center on Route 16 at Pinkham Notch, following a 2.4-mile trail to reach the base of the ravine.
The natural formation acts as a snow collector, with Mount Washington's strong winds depositing snow from surrounding highlands into the ravine throughout winter.
