With everyone doing self portraits on Pbase, I decided to use the work of someone else. This image was taken by my English professor when I was in college. I went with him and two other students to Mount Washington, NH from school in VT in May of 1954 to ski Tuckerman's Ravine. But the snow and skiing was better on "Hillman's Highway" (a narrow ravine to the left of Tuckerman's). My legs got so sun burned I ended up in the hospital back in VT for about a week. This shot looking down does not give a true picture of just how very steep this slope was. In the upper part, with your skis across the fall line, you could reach out with your uphill arm and touch the slope. If you fell, you tumbled into the rocks below.
