in winter it is continuous snow. later season it does eventually become untenable/unadvisable. I am sure I have better pics but here are a few from skiing that side. It basically dumps you at Illumina...

lurv me some st helens, great to see some touring beyond the south side.kapman, can you shed any additional light on the crater wall FA? curious to know where it was and who did it. cheers
impressive! your ventures never cease to amaze me, year after year after year. so burly
can chime on the chutes—they are fine. I hit them sat and i am not a strong (or good) skier. not been in that late (2:30) but the high overcast and being terribly out of shape colluded for the late de...
anyone willing to relay the beta for the direct exit to morrison ck CG? I have always traversed back to the Crescent "glacier" area and had a nice little run from there down to cold springs....
thanks for report.Necessary to mention that MSH permits are a sham. Private non-profits harvests $8 off the $22 permit. $5 to MSHI and $3 to their non-profit processing partner. You used to get someth...
NEX-5N user here.. you can buy a sensor cleaning kit for maybe $10-20. It is a little harrowing but not bad. KISS principles, and don't treat it like it's a dirty kitchen sink that needs scr...

two of ya'll on bikes? was impressed to see those lines Sunday morning. cheers!
i too got a late summit around 1:30 and hit chutes around 2pm. (reasons outside of my control..I'm just happy my wife is happy enough to climb and glissade the south side.) Chutes were definitely...
that's what I've always done. boot or reskin in a traversing arc shape up around semi-bowl and over to the copses of trees somewhat above/west the summer route, normally can find a spot to d...
kamtron, where were people going if not doing the lower exit at 7000? Were folks stopping shy of that or you mean going on down further?? little confused there.
this was a fun read, thanks for sharing! :) I'd like to tell myself I'd do more touring on Shasta someday, seems I only get down there for a go at avy gulch skiing once a year. But I'm...
nice TR. thanks for sharing. great effort to top out in a normal snow year, this time of year. too bad about snow conditions.I spoke with the wilderness ranger, Justin, last year about the sleds. Supp...

nice TR. Curious to see how things are up there now with all the new snow. Finally a big dump!FWIW the Muir Telemetry to top of Mt. Hood approximation sometimes is helpful and other times isn't r...

DG: Thanks, yes it felt great. So good for my soul to have some buttery easy turns. I took up skiing about 3 years ago and having had to take a season off (rock climbing injury).. I was just starting...

jail huh? you'd rather pay ~$128/day as a taxpayer to have him in jail? Certainly cutting down multiple trees in the north cascades should warrant lots of 'jail' if cutting a $5 lock do...
