Backcountry

 Mount Shasta has been claimed by Couloir Magazine as the quintessential Ski Mountaineering peak in the lower 48. Shasta Base Camp concurs, after all you can drive 15 minutes year round to the base of a fourteener, climb up Avalanche Gulch and It doesn't matter if your up for 500' or 10,000' of vertical skiing there is a backcountry route for everyone! All levels of skiers and snowboarders. Our daily detailed avalanche forcast from the Forest Service, and friends at the Avalanche Center keeps the local backcountry enthusiasts inspired.
