Tuckerman Inferno Pentathlon
The Tuckerman Inferno Pentathlon is a multisport winter competition that tests travel skills in a mountain environment. Participants navigate the eastern flank of Mount Washington, ascending toward the summit when weather conditions allow, before descending to Jackson Village. The course requires a variety of specialized techniques, including alpine touring, technical ski mountaineering, and alpine ski racing.
The event follows a pentathlon format divided into five distinct stages. These stages incorporate backcountry nordic travel and nordic ski racing skills alongside downhill and mountaineering disciplines. The race includes established relay tag zones and provides time splits for each segment of the course. Registration is open to individuals and relay teams, with proceeds supporting the Mount Washington Avalanche Center Foundation.
