A couple years ago I went up Tuckerman Ravine in late June. There was still a small snow pack at the bottom of the ravine, and at the bottom of the snow pack was a carved-out tunnel big enough to stand in hunched over. I'd like to return to this when the snow pack is a bit bigger (and the ice cave a bit longer). Two questions I have:
1. When should I go? I am thinking that if I go too early, there won't have been enough melting snow to carve the tunnel out enough to enter.
2. How safe is it? I would rather not have several hundred pounds of ice/snow come down on me.
