Fairweather Posted March 21, 2010 Posted March 21, 2010 Trip: Mt St Helens - Worm FLows Date: 3/20/2010 Trip Report: Only patches of snow in the woods at Marble Mountain. Melting very fast. Solid boot path to top. Probably more than 100 people on the mountain. Lots of skiers. A little over 5hrs up. Quote
JoeMack Posted March 22, 2010 Posted March 22, 2010 FW: Great shot from the rim. I was up there at 12:30 and the wind was howling. I was a bit intimidated to get too close to the edge, so I took this shot toward Adams. The skiing was fun, but I really felt cheated to not ski right to the lot. On the other hand the lack of snow at the trailhead meant there were no 2 stroke fumes to choke on Quote
Fairweather Posted March 22, 2010 Author Posted March 22, 2010 Yea, that wind was weird. I did hear some snow machines off toward the east, but I never saw them. Were you on skis? Quote
JoeMack Posted March 22, 2010 Posted March 22, 2010 Yes, I had my skis but booted the whole way up. The bootpack seemed more efficient than skinning. Quote
Jim Posted March 22, 2010 Posted March 22, 2010 What's the snow now low - where were you able to drive to? Looks like a nice day. Quote

The gate to the Climber's Bivouac was locked, so we started from Marble Mountain. The snow is patchy on the trail and isn't continuous until about 3/4 mile from the trailhead. Quote
