	Skiing the Cascade Volcanoes: Mount Saint Helens
		Mount Saint Helens was once the most beautiful peak in the Cascade Range, a cone whose near-perfect symmetry led it to be known as the "Fuji of America".
		But in Saint Helens' symmetry lay the roots of its destruction, for the graceful uneroded form was due to its status as the youngest and most active volcano in the range.
		Although the crater and the devastated area to the north remain closed to the general public, the largely undamaged south side of Saint Helens was reopened to climbers and skiers in 1987.
