I plan on riding tucks on friday but need some questions answered.
I was wondering what the normal procedure is to do Tucks. I have hiked from Pinkams notch to the summit of Mt. Washington but never to ski the bowl. I seem to remember it taking about 2 hours to get to the Hermit lean-to. Then another few hours to get to the summit.

How long does it normally take to reach the drop in?

Can I get a couple of runs in if I start on friday morning or do I need to stay over thursday night at the lean-to?


Can I ride all the way down to the parking lot at the end of the day or do I have to hike out?

Thanks for any input.

Look back at prior posts SherpaKroto and host D McGrath provide info for first timers. Have not been there but hike up from Pinkham is about 2.5 to 3 hrs according to these experienced folks. Check messages out.
