Another report from Mt. St. Helens. Nothing new from other recent reports. 3-5 feet at MSP, LOTS of snow above treeline. Skinning up Worm Flows is straight forward right now, just stay away from the corniced gullies. There was about 1-2" of new snow from a few days ago that turned to mush up high and then it's all corn below. We need a good freeze though cause it's all mush down low. Camped at treeline to make for a 3 1/2 hour ascent from camp.

Sounds like you had a good trip! I especially liked the photo of Mt Hood above the clouds, and crystal light mixed with some snow is hard to beat!
