Mt. Shasta Ski Park
Mt. Shasta Ski Park ski resort in California, United States, is a small but charming resort located in the Cascades Mountain Range. It boasts a variety of beginner, intermediate, and advanced trails, with particular highlights including "Marmot" and "Squirrel." An interesting fact is that Mt. Shasta is believed by some to be a spiritual center with mystical energy. For beginners, it is suggested to start on the "Bunny Flat" area. After a day on the slopes, head to the "Cooper Bar & Grill" for some après-ski drinks and food.
Terrain mix: Mt. Shasta Ski Park is located on the slopes of Mt. Shasta, which is part of the Cascade Range in northern California. Mt. Shasta is a dormant volcano and is the second highest peak in the Cascades, standing at 14,179 feet (4,322 meters) above sea level. The ski resort itself is situated on the southern flank of the mountain and offers a variety of terrain for skiers and snowboarders of all levels. The ski park features several lifts and runs that cater to both beginners and advanced skiers, as well as stunning views of the surrounding mountainous landscape.

Fishing spots
Mountain & avalanche safety
- Know before you go
- Check today's avalanche bulletin from the regional avalanche center before any off-piste / side-country / backcountry travel. Conditions can shift dramatically between morning and afternoon on storm days.
- Carry the gear, know how to use it
- Beacon, shovel, probe. Practice companion rescue on a calm day, not during a real burial.
- Mind the weather window
- Heavy snow + wind builds wind slabs at ridgelines. The day after a storm is often the riskiest in the backcountry, even if the resort itself is open.
- Respect closed terrain
- Ropes are there for a reason. Even in-bounds, ducking a closure can trigger a slide that catches you and others below.

About Mt. Shasta Ski Park
Where does the snow data for Mt. Shasta Ski Park come from?
Snowpack, SWE, 24-hour snowfall, and air temperature come from the nearest USDA NRCS SNOTEL station. Forecast comes from the National Weather Service / yr.no feed that Snoflo's iOS app uses.
How often is the snow report updated?
Snowpack and SNOTEL data are updated continuously by NRCS (typically hourly). The 15-day weather forecast is refreshed throughout the day. Snoflo caches and renders the most recent observation -- look for the "as of" timestamp on the snowpack hero.
What's the elevation at Mt. Shasta Ski Park?
See the Resort Metrics panel above for base / summit / vertical drop. The summit elevation drives snowpack accumulation -- higher summits hold snow longer through spring.
How is "% of normal" calculated?
Today's snowpack is compared to the average snowpack on this calendar day across every recorded year at the nearest SNOTEL. 100% means right on average; 130% is a big year; 60% is thin.
What ski resorts are near Mt. Shasta Ski Park?
See the Other Ski Areas pill grid at the bottom of the page for resorts within driving distance. The sister Other Ski Areas card in the Plan-a-longer-trip grid above shows the closest few.
Can I get alerts when fresh snow hits?
Yes -- snow alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this resort, set a snowfall threshold (e.g. "alert me when 6+ inches"), and you'll get a push the moment the SNOTEL crosses.
