145: Hidden Danger in Tuckerman Ravine

Sometimes the most dangerous places don’t look dangerous at all.They don’t always come as a sudden storm or an obvious cliff or anything that screams danger. Sometimes they look peaceful. Beautiful even. A smooth blanket of snow in the warm spring sun. But on Mount Washington, especially in a place like Tuckerman Ravine, the hazards aren’t always obvious and when something happens there isn’t always time to react.

Sometimes the most dangerous places don’t look dangerous at all.They don’t always come as a sudden storm or  an obvious cliff or anything that screams danger. Sometimes they look peaceful. Beautiful even. A smooth blanket of snow in the warm spring sun. But on Mount Washington, especially in a place like Tuckerman Ravine, the hazards aren’t always obvious and when something happens there isn’t always time to react.
