Timcb Posted May 1, 2003 Share Posted May 1, 2003 Hey- what are the st helens descents like? I'm thinking of heading down there 5/4 and am curious about the easiest route for me and my clunky downhill skis. I hear the climber's bivy trailhead is open- start there or still go from the marble snopark up worm flows? Thanks for the tips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattp Posted May 1, 2003 Share Posted May 1, 2003 Either route is just fine and I think they are fairly similar in terms of steepness though the worm flows route starts a little lower. It is all pretty much intermediate level skiing, though the conditions can vary quit a bit. If you head further around to the west, things get a little steeper. Have fun.

iain Posted May 1, 2003 Share Posted May 1, 2003 I believe you will need to stop and get a permit at this point as well. Just an FYI. Enjoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobinc Posted May 1, 2003 Share Posted May 1, 2003 Going to the west side also avoids the hordes on the usual route, but you will have to spend longer to traverse over there on snowed-in roads. Good for conditioning, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
