FF9 question: how do you get past the ice cavern? should you go to the blizard cave or the other one?

Answer 1

there are no tricks to it, there's only one cave... you go through the ice cave, that's all.

if you investigate certain walls, vivi will open them. also, when you see smoke/wind, stand still, if you move while in that, you will get in a fight

there will be a point where everyone will fall alseep, and then zidane will wake up and you'll have to do a fight with just zidane. - make sure to steal from the black mage AND the seal thing!
