After last week’s record-setting snowfall, the Mount Shasta Ski Park is operating everything – and the snow is fabulous.
With 12 feet of snow on the mountain, clear skis, and everything operating, it’s a perfect time for skiers to pack their gear and head to Mount Shasta for some seriously perfect ski conditions.
Backcountry skiers are advised that while conditions are generally good, there is still avalanche danger, and a visit to the Avalanche Center’s Web site is probably in order before heading up the mountain.
That said, there are tons of new (and fast) snow waiting for those willing to earn their turns on Mount Shasta.
The town and the ski park – after suffering some power outages last week – are operating again, and ready to make your stay in Siskiyou County a wonderful experience.
The Upper Sacramento River has been high, though it’s coming back down – just in time for a series of storms.

Stay tuned for reports on its fishability over the coming weeks (the BWOs were still hatching as of last week).
