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.
The guy wearing the helmet cam is a damned smooth skier! Really great job on his part.
Yea, he's a better skier than me. We were moving pretty fast too. We know those runs like the back of our hand so we can push it in places where other would slow down. You can't really tell but he's right on my ass doing this. He takes that cam underwater too.
