Quick report

Toured into Tuckerman Ravine and Hillman's today. Encountered a panoply of precipitation from rain to mist to ice pellets to sleet to snow. Visibility was exceptionally poor in the bowl. Based on the uncertainty of isolated windslab locations (due to poor visibility), and being alone, I made the decision to ride the bottom 1/3 of Left Gully. Snow was moist and well bonded in the lower parts of Left Gully. Based on somewhat improved visibility when walking down the TRT back to HoJo's, I made the decision to ascend and ride down the bottom half of Hillman's. The sherb is in great shape, though it's starting to get disconnected and patchy in the bottom 1/3 of the trail.
