Bigskins- Slow down there big guy. You may be spouting off before knowing all the facts. Yep, I've done that before, too. Who hasn't?!
Just thought I'd point it out
Sorry for getting a little rant going, I do hope the guy is totally alright.
There is some area's off limits down there.

I and four my friends was riding mn St Hellens friday and we made all way to the top and we notice that cornice had big crack so we figured one more good warm day and that cornice will slide down also snow is very slashi when I did some sidehilling I slide couple avalanches so be carefull down there. Guy who felt inside crater is okey I cheked on www.KATU.com
Talked with John same story, just glad everyone is alright.
Everybody make a mental note...If you accidentally fall into the crater and don't die, you may be fined and/or jailed.
You only need a permit after april 1st. Read the site and you'll see. You just can't be in the blast zone or in the crater. I was up there end of March.
i believe they did but i think they lost the camera when his son almost went down i am not shuer if the other guy got any.........
its pretty clear that the north area of the crater and mt is the only restricted area for sledders i think..
look on the map

only climbers need permits and i think have to register as well, in case of disappearing..

Little confused why snowmobilers need a permit to ride St.Helens above 4800 ft.. I ride Mt.Baker all the time above 4800ft. Have never had a permit,nor have I ever heard of any permit required for snowmobilers that climb the mountain. Is there a difference??? Or maybe one is required and I dont know about it.
only hikers need permits.. the confusion is over
