St Helens Mothers Day 2007

[RogerJ]

Here are some photos from the day. Jacks' reported over 300 permits issued. Yes they were checking on the mountain too.

 

 

Skinning started about a mile in.

 

 

 

There were a few spots to carry over.

 

 

The konga line to the top, or is this March of the Penguins?

 

The fun only begins once you get to the top

 

People kept coming

 

 

 

The top portion actually had some nice skiing. I got some corn turns in. The lower section was pretty mushy and obviously skied out alot due to the traffic as of late.

 

It was a fun and festive day.

I'll be in washington for some hiking in mid august, I'm guessing that is a bad time for st helens hike? Too late in the season?

If you don't mind climbing a big sandpile (two steps forward, one slide back) and getting a sunburn you'll love it.

Get your $22.00 permit in advance. The Konga Line is limited to 100 per day in August.

Since we dont' have skis and skins we are planning on hiking up on May 28th. How is the snow? Walkable in boots or snowshoes needed?

Was really happy to not encounter knee problems after getting Patella Tendinitis after too much running. Also, I'm sexier than all of you...
