How cancellation tracking works
Sold out almost never means gone. People cancel St. Helens trips for weather, injuries, and schedule changes, and those dates go straight back to the booking system without any announcement.
PermitSnag checks St. Helens availability around the clock, compares every scan against the last known state, and alerts watchers only when the open dates actually change. No refresh-tab-and-pray, no false alarms from unchanged listings.
