Took a spin up Mt. St. Helens on Thursday, clear and relatively hot conditions. Snow begins at the TH, and on this day did not really freeze up ON. Conditions fairly unpleasant to the ridge, with postholing and just general inconsistencies. On the ridge, the wind picked up a bit which made for better snow. This didn't last long, the upper slog was again inconsistent. Carried the snowshoes up, lol. . . . Regardless, it was a beautiful day in the neighborhood and not having been here in 20+ years, spectacular to see it was still spectacular. Mash potatoes on the way out.
