Not much new to report. Pretty much top to bottom corn still. T-shirt weather to within 300vf of the rim, then the wind picked up and the snow became pretty firm. Skied down at about 2:30. After the top section the corn was pretty ideal for about 3k feet, then a little mushy but still good. A little firm on more easterly aspects but easy to ski the softer stuff all the way down. Great views and lots of people out including some famous internet skiers. About 6hrs RT. Link to Peter's pics: http://picasaweb.google.com/petey5287/MtStHelens?feat=directlink#
