| Mount Shasta is considered by many to be North America's premier
ski mountaineering peaks, and for good reason. Join us on a
three-day backcountry ski mountaineering adventure on California's
spectacular 14,000 ft volcano.
We will basecamp in the beautiful Hidden Valley on Shasta's west side where
we we will establish a comfotable spring ski camp. From our
camp we will ski descent shots around Shasta's sub-peak Shastina
before attempting the summit of Shasta and skiing the incredible
West face, a consistent 38 degree slope with thousands of
feet of turns all the way back to camp.
Join us on the ski descent of a lifetime this spring!.
