Right Gully

One of the easier options in Tuckerman Ravine, Right Gully is a mega classic. It’s not quite as steep as The Headwall, and not quite is narrow as Left Gully, but still gives you that high alpine feel. Being a southerly aspect, Right Gully gets a lot of sun, and can be one of the first lines to corn up as spring rolls around. This can also present a hazard, and you may want to avoid this line if warming snow is on your list of avalanche concerns. Climb out of the ravine through the bushes on a faint runout, and join the bottom of the gully, which is wide and half pipe shaped. The terrain is pretty consistently in the 30 degree range but steepens to around 40 at the top. Top out in the trees on the Lions Head Trail and put skis on. In thin conditions the drop in can involve negotiating some bushes. Join the wide gully and ski fall line to the ravine floor. A good first run in Tucks.
