Skiers trigger avalanches on Washington BY ERIK EISELE THE CONWAY DAILY SUN
PINKHAM NOTCH — Skiers, snowboarders and climbers triggered four avalanches on Mount Washington on Saturday. Two slides caught skiers, but no one got hurt. Both people swept up in slides were in Tuckerman Ravine. U.S. Forest Service snow rangers caught one of the incidents on video. Snow rangers are using the string of avalanches as an educational opportunity. They posted a complete analysis of the three slides in Tuckerman to their website, mountwashingtonavalanchecenter.org. The posted avalanche rating for Saturday was low, according to snow ranger Jeff Lane, who wrote the Mount Washington Avalanche Center’s report on the incident, but the avalanche forecast warned there was a danger of avalanches in the area the skiers were.
