Mt Washington Avalanche Center posts Advisories based on the North American Public Avalanche Danger Scale. Please consider the Travel Advice:
Posted May 22: A SECTION OF THE TUCKERMAN RAVINE TRAIL IS NOW CLOSED TO ALL USE. This section extends from Lunch Rocks at the floor of the Ravine to the top of the Headwall where it meets the Alpine Garden Trail.    This includes no skiing or riding through the Lip area.  Only this section of the trail is closed. This annual closure is due to the magnitude of the crevasses and undermining, and the severe consequences of a fall in this area.... See MWAC website for more details.
