PINKHAM NOTCH — Unlike last year, when conditions were marginal at best, organizers say things are looking favorable for the Mount Washington Avalanche Center Foundation’s Tuckerman Inferno Pentathlon, set for March 18 with a start at Great Glen Trails before progressing onto other events on Mount Washington.

“We’ve got so much snow here with over 2 feet the past two weeks, so with more snow in the forecast for Tuesday, we’re looking good for the Inferno,” said Lisa McCoy of Great Glen Trails, which is hosting the opening legs of the five-part race.
