Mt. St. Helens, Monitor Ridge (Ski Touring)

Activity Notes

Date is weather dependent and can change. This is a 5,200 foot climb so applicants should be in shape to skin up for 6 or 7 hours with few breaks. The ski descent can be at times icy (ish) on the upper mountain so confidence in ski ability in various backcountry snow conditions is a must. Crampons will be needed, either ski or boot crampons.
