Crash
Backcountry
Here’s a little Friday Funday video for ya. Although, on close examination, there is a bit more carnage than you’re average funday, it’s still acceptable as we’re pretty sure the guy is unhurt.
We’ve never been out to Tuckerman’s but we’ve heard the stories of mayhem and directly-ontop-of-each-other-ness that Tuck’s has become famous for. This video displays that side of Tuckerman’s well.
The golden moment of the video is when you can hear a guy(s) say: “Wow, this is getting scary. I’m not skiing anymore today.” That kinda says it all.
Our friend Ryan Dunfee has just written a piece about the theTuckerman’s Mayhem that you might also enjoy if you’re familiar with the place: The Gladiator’s of Tuckerman’s
Who are these kooks in this video?
The photo just below the video shows the Upper Snowfield, the Lip, and
the Lower snowfield. I was on the Upper Snowfield and let a guy who was
in a hurry pass me. I yelled at him that he was traversing sideways wrong
in ski boots. He ignored me. A few moments later his foot slid out and he
started sliding. He picked up speed, slid over the Lip, slid the entire length
of the Lower Snowfield, stopping just 20 feet from rocks at the bottom.
He laid there motionless , looking dead for five minutes, then got up as if
nothing had happened.
More crash reels please
It looks like his runaway ski clipped the poor dog!
Oh, nice one.
Tuck is always a mess in the spring. No one up there in feb.
I’m not so sure that he’s ok. That definitely hurt.
