Mount Shasta

Avalanche danger is low. Generally safe avalanche conditions exist. Look and be prepared for falling rime ice.

Exercise normal caution in the backcountry. Generally safe avalanche conditions exist. You might find unstable snow in extreme or isolated leeward terrain where wind has deposited snow.

The rime ice caked to cliff bands may begin to dislodge in the coming days as temperatures increase. Pay attention to what is overhead and wear your helmet if climbing underneath. Falling ice chunks have the same effect as falling rocks. You are the pins; the ice - the bowling balls. Don't allow the mountain to score.

When visiting your recreational areas, please have respect for your fellow travelers - pick up your trash; clean your campfire ash; be on target in the bathrooms. Think of the next person in line.

Join us on Saturday, January 15th at 9:00 a.m. at the Deer Mountain warming hut for a snowmobiler specific avalanche awareness and companion rescue clinic.
