message: It's called TUX. Please actually visit this place and look at the thousands of repetitive T shirts that say TUX in 300 point font. Thank you. - Forgot my IP address. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.232.116.147 (talk) 02:22, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks, I don't go up there during the spring crowds, so I stand corrected.  I moved the statement farther down, though.  Having it at the top would be like saying in the New Hampshire article, "New Hampshire (casually called New Hamster) is a state in northern New England".--Ken Gallager 12:57, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Besides, everybody knows it's spelled New Hampster! - DavidWBrooks 15:42, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually they sell the shirts all year round. BTW, personally I dont know anyone who says Hampster. Must be a racial thing. That Nashua article also has Tuckerman's casually shortened to Tux. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.24.2.22 (talk) 21:49, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: "a racial thing" - "hampster"? You lost me. (Also, I wrote the Nashua Telegraph article, so it's not real good backup!) - DavidWBrooks 22:15, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

text: The shirts are actually sold at the ski shops around there...meaning during the time of the winter crowds.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.19.97.7 (talk) 00:18, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Sheesh, I don't mean the crowds at the ski shops, I meant the crowds in the ravine.  Are people up there skiing in January or August these days?  Or are April through June now considered winter?--Ken Gallager (talk) 12:27, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Wow, you replied a year after this first came up? That's dedication.. I accept your "casually called TUCKS" part. High five and a butt bump. 76.19.97.7 (talk) 00:34, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

message: I disagree with a couple of the trail difficulty descriptions - and question if they should be in here at all.  The main reason is that the difficulty of  a trail varies greatly with the snow conditions.  If anything, the realitive danger of the various runs should be indicated.  I.e. A fall going over the lip usually gives you enough time to self-arrest without any special gear/technique.  Compare this to a fall on any of the runs right above the lunch rocks... which could cause serious harm if you do not self-arrest.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by M@ (talk • contribs) 21:05, 3 September 2009 (UTC)

message: The lede says skiing "into July." It's plausible, historically, but as a practical matter this is incorrect. Depending on actual coverage, such skiing in the past -- if it happened -- might have been merely for a few yards (& a novelty "for the record" rather than for the pure sake of skiing). Seems unlikely in future. Anyway, a pleasure to read any good source (historical?) for skiing in July in Tuck's.
Purely an aside: I have (or had) photographs of a snow patch near bottom of Tucks from July 4, 1949 and another from  same spot on 4th of July. 1992. Patch is impressive for season -- not remotely large enough to ski. I think the '92 patch was smaller, but I don't remember. 32.221.212.116 (talk) 15:52, 12 January 2023 (UTC)

message: Under History, this sentence: 
"According to the New England Ski Museum, the first recorded use of skis on Mount Washington was by a Dr. Wiskott of Breslau, Germany, who skied on the mountain in 1899, while the first skier in Tuckerman was John S. Apperson of Schenectady, New York, in April 1914." 
It should read as: 
"According to the New England Ski Museum, the first recorded use of skis on Mount Washington was by a Dr. Wiskott of Breslau, Germany, who skied on the mountain in 1899, while the first skier in Tuckerman [Ravine or just ravine] was John S. Apperson of Schenectady, New York, in April 1914."
EDIT NOTE: In my opinion, in this sentence, after "Tuckerman" [see bracketed content] the sentence would read better by adding "Ravine" or removing "Tuckerman" altogether and adding "ravine". Redline Guiding (talk) 17:41, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
