I've ski'd it at least a dozen times in the mid 90's to 00'. Haven't done it in at least 10 years but I love that place. Expect the unexpected and be prepared for the worst. If you are an intermediate skier don't try it. I've seen people that I ski'd with that were better than me sh%$t their pants on the headwall.
I made some turns at Cannon last Sunday and was feeling pretty good. My friend had a helmet cam on while we took a cruise.
Great read about the many deaths on Mt Washington over the years. I think someone has died on Mt Washington every month of the year...
I was part of a team that saved a person at Tuckerman's many years ago... I watched someone lose it on the right headwall... slid into an open crevice... I called down to lunch rocks to a rescue patrol guy who came up with a rope and 8 of us were able to pull this wet guy back up 50 feet ... he had hypthermia and he was stripped down out of his wet clothes and put in a sleeping bag with another person to warm him up--- skin to skin contact... at the bottom of the crevice is a stream of ice melt water... several people have died falling and sliding into open crevices in the spring at Tuckermans
This photo was from april 01'. I think it's the last time I ski'd it. I hiked up Hillmans on this run. We used to plan our trip up around the Son of the Inferno race.

Did Son of the Inferno a couple times.
Don't know what the hell was wrong with me.
