Mount Helen Conditions?

Post by timf »

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.
