Symbolism
Tuckerman Fade symbolizes grit, guts and determination, the core drivers of “extreme” skiers who tackle Tuckerman Ravine, a highly traveled backcountry New Hampshire skiing destination.

Highlights
Tuckerman Fade is knit from the top down using four colors for color work found on the yoke, lower body and sleeves. The neck uses ribbing for a turtleneck and cuffs and body hem are folded under for a crisp finish.
