Huntington Ravine Fire Road

The best approach and descent for Huntington Ravine is the fire road. This wide path splits from the Tuckerman Ravine Trail after the bridge, follow signs for Harvard Cabin. Skin flat terrain past Harvard Cabin and begin switch backs up towards the Ravine. In early season there is often some shenanigans involved, with a few creeks to cross and dubious wooden bridges. As you enter the ravine, you may need to take skis off to walk through some sections of boulders. As this area fills in, these become buried making for a much cleaner entry. Be aware as you ski out, you will be encountering both uphill and downhill traffic. Don’t crash into anyone! You will also need to navigate a few hundred feet of the Tuckerman Ravine Trail before you can cross back to the Sherb. Be prepared for people to stop you and talk to you like you don’t know where you’re going if there’s crowds on the TRT
