Hi,
I am going for my first time to tucks... I am experienced in the backcountry just never been to tucks. I was wondering how many decents of the ravine and general area can one get in on an average day. I am not looking to spend my day sitting around and am keen to keep moving. Thanks for your help, and also wondering what the sking is like off the summit, Is it worth climbing the extra vert.
thanks guys

Totally depends on the person.

I know guys who only go up and do one runa dn other guys who will do a dozen. My personal record is about 7 runs from the top of the bowl in June, which not anything great. Our Avy 1 instuctor last weekend, Roger Damon, is 74 (and a GREAT instructor and person in general) and did 3 runs over the headwall for his 70th birthday. We are not worthy.
