Only you can decide, the go/no-go decision is a tought one when the weather and mount Washington are involved.
I'd say, if you have rooms reserved and the time off and all that jazz - you should go, but be very prepared to turn around on the trail if it gets too hairy or miserable for you.
Worst Case; You have a good time with your friends in the Mountain Town and don't get to do much hiking due to weather.
What else do you have to do? Do you have other trips planned to Tux?

I used to go up from the city all the time...
You just gotta go... Pack your rain gear.. And go..
Cause - just because the weather says chance of rain doesnt mean boo... It could turn out to be nice and you've missed yet another year!!
If you go - hit us on the radio 9-14...

Thanks for the info --- We have until Thur or Fri to cancel the hotel rooms.
We'll definately give a shout out on the radio and meet up at lunch rocks.
If anyone else has advice let me know!

depends on your objectives. if you're trying to knock off some of the steeper chutes, conditions don't look prime. if enough rain percolates through the snowpack, avi conditions will be mod-high and you may not even get into the bowl.
if you're just looking to get out of the smog of the city and enjoy the mtns. and the environment and not too concerned with numbers, just go and enjoy.

The weather forecast has made us decide to ski the ravine on Friday instead
of Saturday. We are also coming up from NYC.

I'll be rolling in around then too... (I've pretty much decided to go no matter what). Should we wait for each other and hike up together?
