MOUNT WASHINGTON, N.H. (AP) - Most skiers see boulders as obstacles. Forrest Frizzell sees them as launch pads. On a Sunday in May, the 21-year-old Frizzell blasts into the air off a tractor-trailer-sized rock and rockets down the headwall at maniacal speed. Making turns does not seem to interest this Evel Knievel on skis. Spectators cheer his jump — and then quickly run for cover.
Each time, Frizzell rides to the bitter end before hitting the brakes perilously close to where the snow stops and a brook begins.
Then he pops out of his skis, throws them over his shoulder, and starts back up the mountain.
