Snowboarder Caught on Camera Narrowly Escaping Massive Avalanche on Mount Washington

A snowboarder narrowly escaped a terrifying avalanche in New Hampshire — and it was all caught on camera.

The avalanche was triggered in Tuckerman Ravine at Mount Washington on Tuesday, March 11, according to a statement from the Mount Washington Observatory.

A webcam at the summit of Wildcat Mountain caught the avalanche on film, as well as a snowboarder who escaped the slide.

The footage, shared on social media by observatory officials, showed the snowboarder dropping into the bowl with the snow fast on their heels just before 1:30 p.m. local time.

The camera zoomed in on the snowboarder, who only appeared as a small dot on the screen, as they weaved down the slope just a few feet in front of the oncoming snow.

“Luckily, no one involved was injured,” according to the Mount Washington Observatory.

The incident comes nearly one year after a person was gravely injured when they slipped and fell while traveling across the top of Tuckerman Ravine on foot, according to a statement previously released by the Mount Washington Avalanche Center.

Madison Saltsburg, 20, eventually died from what officials described as “traumatic injuries” she sustained from the fall, BBC News reported.

Mount Washington is the highest mountain in northeastern North America. It is well known for its extreme weather, including high winds and frigid temperatures.

Recently, winds at the observatory clocked in at over 130 mph, according to a blog post shared on their website.

Footage from the observation deck taken on Friday, March 7, showed crew members at the summit being blown around by the gusty winds while sitting on the ground.

Researchers also recently recorded a wind gust of 161 mph atop Mount Washington and “had thirty-nine consecutive hours of gusts over 100 mph.”
