Last Skier Standing Competition Is Insane As It Gets and AMC Is Right There – by Lynn Fisher

In the world of endurance events “Last Skier Standing,” run by White Mountain Ski Co., is near the top. Held at Black Mountain in
Maine, participants skin up about 1.5 miles and 1200 vertical feet, then ski back down, once each hour.  Skiers continue doing this until all skiers but one have dropped out. AMC’s own Chris Peters, an AMC Ski Committee Co-Chair, was nuts enough to give it a go. Not only did he survive, he did great!
