What cracks me up is I live at a higher elevation than summit of Mt St Helen. It was a fun, albeit mellow ski. Stunning views!

Attempted it in the early 2000's, no permit was needed, you signed up on a sheet on the wall at a bar near by (not that this was enforced in any way). Times have changed.

Don't be jealous, you live above St Helen summit elevation too.

Ah.... this reminds me of the best magnetic fridge poetry that we came up with from a geology pack from AGU in college - How can Mount St Helens show Cleavage you Vulcan Dike. I'm sure only geologists will laugh/groan.
