Mount Helen Conditions?

Postby timf » Wed Nov 04, 2009 12:52 pm

Thinking about a short jaunt up Mount Helen on 11/14. Anyone know if this ramp is loaded up with snow to be concerned about given last week's snow fall? If dicey I may wander up Quandary for grins.

Here's a shot of Helen from this morning. I suspect the gully/trees portion on the lower left will have 4-10" of snow, but I haven't been up there recently.

I've always wanted to climb Mt. Helen. In the summer, that big slab looks like an out of place slanted meadow that was instantly created by an earthquake.
