I live pretty near the mountain. My business partner, his brother, have hiked up, and skied into the mountain. It caused an avalanche, but they were at the top of it. And no, it is not legal. These guys are the most awesome extreme skiers in the state.

Mt St Helens is extremely cool, I’ve been up the Randle side, and highly recommend it for a visitor to the state. Clear skies needed to get max enjoyment. Seeing crater lake, still full of logs, amazing. Nearly 30 yrs later, that side is still completely devastated.

On my first visit, there was a HUGE bear jumping around in the lake, fishing. Had no idea bears were that capable of swimming. Two bald eagles were circling it, trying to get leftovers. It was a huge bear, not sure if Grizzlies are in the cascades, but this thing was extremely large.

I really should get a life insurance policy on him... Some of these crevaces go down hundreds of yards, they find you 1000 years later...

About half of the world’s glaciers are advancing, about half retreating.

I'd love it if you had the source for that. It would help with my arguments against AGW.

Asking politely: where did you get this statistical breakdown?
