Probably a good idea as its probably the most attractive nuisance in the whites this time of year. Of course that might drive lesser skilled skiers into alternative locations that are less accessible. I hope Kings Ravine or the west side ravines do not become a replacement for Tucks.
Skiing Tucks would have to be the most crowded attraction left with the outlets closed. Even the busiest hiking trails aren't as congested & we don't sit on nearby rocks to watch people walk down trails
Have fun & be safe

Actually I've seen many reports of the Kanc and other spots with "summer peak" traffic activity, huge lines of cars along the roads at trail heads, etc. Saw an article about over 400 people skiing in Tuckermans recently. So there is definitely congestion happening, at least at parking areas.

According to the Mt. Washington Avalanche Center's Facebook site, as of April 2, 2020, the entire east side of Mt. Washington is now closed, and anyone caught on it can be fined or arrested.

FYI, I made the trip down to Conway through Pinkham Notch to pick up an essential Ragged Mountain Equipment face mask today (Friday). The state has a portable display sign on the side of the road warning drivers that Tucks and parking lots are closed. The overflow lots south of Pinkham were never plowed and there is still snow pack in them. AMC has installed concrete barricades to the side lots. Wildcat was installing barricades at the entrance to the parking lot. No signage there.
Kudos to you well done! Supporting local manufacturing also. Not sure if this is the one you purchased. There was info posted on their FB Page yesterday about their Facemask. Looked like it was well made and innovative. https://raggedmountain.com/face-masks

Yes I bought local, Its a nice design. They got swamped with orders as the local paper had a article about them today. They normally do a lot of business in the spring during Tuckerman's season so I expect they appreciate the work. My guess is they are using up a lot of scrap fabric. No choice on colors.
Labonville's has their sewing factory in Gorham which is also making product for the local hospitals (no public sales). Wild Things also has a small facility in Gorham that also seems to be running, they apparently do a lot of government contract work and would not be surprised if they are not supporting making special product.
Burgeon in Lincoln is also sewing masks for health care and nonprofits; link in case anybody is associated with an organization that needs them. I've been sticking to a Buff; it's only one layer and form-fitting, but is good coverage and secure, so provides some protection.
