Mt. Shasta Skiing Getting Better

As the days go by the skiing gets better and the snow a little bit firmer. Fluffy powder with no base makes for some rock skiing. Here are some pictures from today. Not to bad in the trees.

There are still a lot or rocks up there. One more good storm should do the trick.

There's nothing like fresh virgin tracks!

Another awesome day on the mountain!
Happy Holidays Everyone!

Mtn. Biking Mt. Shasta Lower Trails

This Thanksgiving was all about awesome Mountain Biking. This weekend Mike, John and I rode the single track on the mountain. It was great. There are lots of variations to choose from. We started from 9 mile down to the Tunnel Trail.

Taking advantage of the trails before the snow comes. Hopefully sooon!!!

Dumping on Mt. Shasta/First Ski for the Season

This picture was taken yesterday at the Old Ski Bowl parking lot. The County truck was waiting for the last of the skiers to come down . It's official. The gate is closed at Bunny Flat.

I'm sure there's way more snow now. It's Dumping!

Getting ready for the decent.

First ski tracks of the season. I skinned up from Bunny Flat up Avalanche Gulch to 9,000'. The visability wasn't too good but the skiing was! I was very cautious from treeline down. There are still rocks out there. With this new snow it will be covered soon.One of my favorite places on the mountain. The Gemini Tree.

Hike up to Horse Camp Rainy/Snowy Day
