This was also a PERS cover back in 2005, along with a (probably obsolete now) Lidar in the USGS article:  http://www.asprs.org/publications/pers/2005journal/january/

and the lava some that “recently” grew is clearly visible. when i initially created these contour lines (http://www.cs.unc.edu/~isenburg/googleearth/contour/saint_helens/saint_helens.kmz) the lava dome was not reflected in the google earth elevation because they were using the data from the SRTM mission of 2000. and the dome grew until 2004 (http://www.cnn.com/2004/US/11/06/mount.saint.helens/index.html). now the data aligns properly to the terrain.

Thanks Martin - The USGS has a page dedicated to the 2004 eruptive period with a nice animation of the dome growth from repeat lidar: http://vulcan.wr.usgs.gov/Volcanoes/MSH/Eruption04/LIDAR/
