"Every year, 25 people wind up needing some sort of assistance from rescue crews, whether they're skiers, climbers, or hikers. Plus fatalities aren't unheard of in Tuckerman."
"While this send is pretty epic, it's important that skiers and snowboarders ski far within their comfort level in Tuckerman Ravine, understanding that the area is in the backcountry."
"The run is absolutely unbelievable. Of course he clearly knew what he was doing and sent the double with an understanding of how to hit it and how to land it."
Every spring, skiers and snowboarders flock to Tuckerman Ravine on Mt. Washington for an end-of-season celebration. While the area offers thrilling challenges, it is also hazardous, with 25 people needing rescue assistance annually and fatalities reported. Skiers must remain within their comfort levels due to the backcountry conditions. Despite the risks, impressive feats like a wild double jump showcase the skill of experienced athletes. The Mount Washington Volunteer Ski Patrol and rescue teams are available, but rescues can be complicated.
