Conditions Report! May 15, 2024. Summit of Shastina, Mount Shasta's satellite cone, and a ski descent of the South Face. Did you know? Shastina is the third tallest peak in the Cascade Range after Mount Rainier and Mount Shasta. A special place and far less frequented side of the mountain.

See our most recent blog post for details!

Beautiful sunny weather lately and a healthy snowpack here in Mt Shasta City, California. The climbing and skiing season on the mountain will go strong into July this year. With so many drought seasons over the past 10 years in California, this is definitely a year to achieve your objectives on Mt Shasta!

Conditions Report! April 10, 2024. The climbing and ski mountaineering season has began on Mount Shasta. 🚨https://climbshasta.com/2024/04/12/spring-has-begun-mt-shasta/

It's mid April and in Mt Shasta it's definitely starting to feel like spring has sprung here in northern California. After a slow start to the 2023/24 winter in California, El Nino ended up delivering a deep and moist snowpack to the upper mountain on Mt Shasta. And unlike last year, this year, the spring skiing and summer mountaineering season on Avalanche Gulch and the West Face will go strong into late June. The best time for a summit climb or a summit ski descent is usually May through June.

The entrance and the upper slopes of the West Face are in great condition! I have skied the West Face close to maybe ten times now and the conditions on this day are some of the best I've found them in. At about 2pm, I clicked into my skis and skied smooth, edge-able, and fun windbuff snow for the first 500 vertical feet. Below this, the snow surface gives way to 4,000 feet of soft and playful corn snow all the way to the valley floor below. I did not regret my decision and I felt lucky to have this entire side of the mountain to myself in such great conditions.

Our Mt Shasta Summit Ski Descent via the West Face is our most popular guided ski trip from the summit of Mount Shasta. Learn ski mountaineering skills and ski from the summit of Mt Shasta via the West Face route. That's 7,000 vertical feet of skiing from the summit to the parking lot. We’ll establish a base camp in the beautiful Hidden Valley and do short ski tours from our base camp on the second day of the trip before climbing to the summit. The 3-day itinerary gives us plenty of time on a more relaxed schedule to acclimatize, learn the basic snow climbing skills, and also get some great ski touring in around Cascade Gulch and Hidden Valley.

⛷️ 2024 spring bookings for ski trips are now open!
