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.
