After loosing his footing, Miller slid nearly 1,000′ over rocks, ice, snow, and waterfalls before he finally came to a stop. As a result, he suffered a multitude of injuries including a traumatic brain injury, fractured temple, broken ribs, fractured nose, and a punctured lung. The entire event was caught on GoPro and shows how Mt Washington is as dangerous as it gets.
Since recovering, Miller is looking forward to getting back on skis but his relationship with Mt Washington has forever changed.
