‘The Inferno’ is an endurance race in a category all of its own… The highlight is a harrowing ski descent down the mind-numbing, leg-shaking and bowel-moving steep glacial cirque known as The Tuckerman Ravine (‘Tux’ or ‘Tucks’ more familiarly) on Mt. Washington. In the latest two editions of this race, I had the good fortune to wear multiple helmets – last year as a racer and this year as a ski patroller.
