Mt. St. Helens 8,364ft.:  Worm Flows, May 11th, 2002

Who:  Eric & Scott Vetter, Sam Avaiusini and about 300 of our "closest" friends.

St. Helens is not the the place to go if you're looking for solitude, especially on a sunny, Saturday in May.  However, it is a great place to hit if you like a long run, moderately steep slopes and social atmosphere.

Snomobiles have an unfair advantage. What takes us climbers 4 hours, takes them about 10 minutes.

We were fortunate to be able to ski all the way to the parking lot!

Eric had some "happy" feet afterwards!
