Last time I was at Tuckerman's boarding we were sitting on the lunch rocks and watched some chick snow shoeing across the lip at the top. She lost her footing slid for about 100' feet screaming, launched into the air and disappeared into a crevasse! There was about twenty people watching and everyone went silent until my buddy Steve said "well I'm not about to let that ruin my lunch" he cracked a beer and we watched the rescue guys start their slow climb to the top. Tuckerman can be a pretty dangerous place in the spring with 100'+ holes hiding here and there..
yep, that place can get ya if your not careful. Great place to go though, you meet all kinds there. I havnt made it in the spring yet for the skiing, heard it gets pretty crowded. I prefer Lionshead trail you gain altitude faster and its more scenic looking into the ravine although almost every time i have been there you can only see about fifty feet. Did a nice traverse a few years ago up Glen Boulder around to Boott Spur back down then up to Huntington to Nelson Crag. I use to ski a lot but then took EMS's climbing school and took to that instead. Tuckermans is a nice way to kill a day
