Quick Glance: Tragic Incident While Skiing at Mount Washington
- A backcountry skier tragically lost his life over the weekend after plummeting about 600 feet into a ravine on Mount Washington in New Hampshire amidst harsh and icy conditions, as officials reported on Sunday.
- The steep bowl attracts thousands of skiers, snowboarders, and hikers annually, renowned for its deep snow and demanding terrain, yet the US Forest Service cautioned about perilous conditions due to solid and icy snow.
- Tuckerman Ravine is recognized for its challenging conditions and peaks in popularity during spring when the sun starts to soften the snow. Mount Washington, standing at 6,288 feet, is the highest peak in the Northeast and frequently a rescue site due to ongoing mountain hazards.
- Several incidents related to snow sports have garnered national attention in recent years, underscoring the risks of snow sports and stressing the significance of safety guidelines for skiers and snowboarders.
