Mount Shasta Fun Guide

Skiing Castle Lake Feb 4th and 7th

2010-02-07T14:17:00.000-08:00

Thursday, Mary and I went up to Castle Lake to check out the skiing. The road has finally been plowed almost all the way.

It was dumping snow all the way!

This was the last picture I took that day. We climbed to Right Peak. It was sooo windy. Guessing around 35-40 m.p.h. We had to put on all the warm gear and try not to get blown away.

The top of Right Peak today (Sunday). First sunny day in a week.

Hooked up with a few friends and skied the back side of Right Peak. It was sweet!

Ben skinning back up to Right Peak from the back side.

Mt. Shasta peaking out. It's been a while.

Climbing back up to Right Peak, met up with more friends.

Looking over towards Left Peak and Castle Lake. It's definitely frozen.

Courtney and Allan. Great skiing with you both.

Ben taking a lunch break.

Back at the parking lot- or somewhat of a parking lot. A bit tricky trying to turn around.
Another great ski adventure.
Looks like Everitt Memorial Hwy will be open by the weekend.

Mt. Shasta Ski Park Jan. 27, 2010

2010-01-27T17:26:00.000-08:00

Over 6 days with no power at the ski park and first day of beautiful sunshine, it seemed like at Saturday at the ski park. With the upper and lower parking lot full, it makes you wonder how many people were sick from work today???

Overly excited, I was one of the first in line. Started loading chairs at 8:45. Found a little bit of powder stashes throughout the day, but mostly crust off piste. Good on the groom slopes today.

Hooked up and skied with a lot of good friends today. Roger rippin it!

Looking over towards S.E. side of Mt. Shasta. Pretty windy. Road is plowed to McBride Springs and it may be awhile before it's plowed to Bunny Flat.

If only I got this picture centered. Mike shredding it!

Mike and Beth with the Trinity Alps in the background.

Shot video with my new camera. Here's the video of the day. Mike cutting teleturns on...ooops! What's the name of that run?

Major SNOW Storm Jan. 19-present

2010-01-22T16:31:00.000-08:00

Emergency Declaration in Mt. Shasta

For the past few days we've had lots of snow, power outages, trees down, unplowed roads...

These are the lines in front of my house. They came down with this-

The awning that use to be part of my front porch. At 11:30 p.m., I heard a big crash. I wasn't sure if a tree fell through. Opening the front door, I found no more awning. It collasped.

A lot of people unfortunately weren't as lucky and trees fell through houses. Lots of down limbs with down power lines throughout the town.

I took this picture of town today (Friday). Finally a break in the weather. Most power is back on. I'm still waiting. I want to thank my neighbors for all their help with helping plowing my driveway and especially the Bryans for hooking me up to their generator and power-saving my fish and giving me power for my monitor heater.
Over 100 inches of new snow on the mountain.
Here's to a great ski and climbing season!

Avalanche on Mt. Shasta Jan. 14, 2010

2010-01-14T15:25:00.000-08:00

Avalanche on Mt. Shasta

Naturally caused by warmer temperatures.

Located on the s.e. slope of Casaval Ridge. Today a few areas released avalanches.

Here's a close up. It worked its way down the gulch towards Spring Hill. Didn't see any enter or exit tracks from skiers.

Bart reaching the top of Green Butte Ridge heading to Lower Broadway. Great Skiing and snowboarding in the trees today. A bit windy up higher.

Ian enjoying turns down Lower Broadway.

Bart enjoying turns down Gerald's Bowl. Another great day with good friends in the backcountry.

Always remember check current weather and avalanche report when its available.
Current avalanche activity is a clear sign of possible more slides to occur.

Search and Rescue on Mt. Shasta

2010-01-10T14:54:00.000-08:00

Mt. Shasta in all her glory.
I took this picture Sunday January 10th. Looks like weather is coming our way. Maybe a foot +. We are around 70% of our normal snow pack for this time of year.

Search and Rescue on Mt. Shasta January 7th & 8th

This past Thursday/Friday we had a search and rescue on Mt. Shasta that I participated in. Just want to give a quick synopsis of the situation. An acquaintance of mine came up from the Bay area with a friend. They drove up for a day ski tour and planned on heading back that night. Around 5:00 p.m that evening I received a phone call from Nikki at 5th Season Retail Store explaining to me that his friend hadn't made it back to the parking lot yet. It was beginning to get dark. I got ahold of Eric who's the wilderness ranger. He was already notified and began the process of gathering information and heading up. I got my equipment together and went up the mountain. At Bunny Flat we began putting together a plan. Fortunately, we had contact with the lost skier by phone. He gave us a description of where he thought is was located. Dan (wilderness ranger) and myself were on skis and Danni who was driving the snowmobile began the search. We started at BF and worked our way down to McBride Springs following his ski tracks most of the way. Stopping, calling his name, following his tracks (we think) never to come up with anything. The search continued until around midnight. The next morning, we heading up the mountain. After arriving in the parking lot around 9:15 or so we hung out waiting for any information. The next thing I know I look over at their car and there is the lost skier. A truck drove up and dropped him off. I ran over to find out if he was okay and what happened. He was glad to be back at his car. As it turned out he did spend the night out there. It was a pretty warm night thankfully and at dawn he got his bearings and began walking. He ended up at McBride Springs rd and came upon a logger who gave him a ride back up the mountain. He was a very happy camper!
I would like to commend him for keeping a positive attitude and willingness to live for the successful outcome of this search. For just a day tour, he had quite a few items for his overnight adventure.
Unfortunately, he did lose a ski so if anyone comes across a ski on the McBride Run, bring it to the Ranger Station.
Party separation was the main reason for this incident happening. Both skiers were skiing together until the last run. They separated close to the Bunny Flat trail head.
Learning Tip~It's always important to keep a visual on whoever your skiing with even if it's just for a short distance.

Be Safe Out There and Happy Skiing!

Happy New Years "2010 " Fun is #1!

2010-01-04T14:38:00.000-08:00

Started out my New Year with the Norcaladventurers group on a snowshoe/ski hike to Chaos Crags located in Lassen National Park.

Chaos Crags is the youngest group of lava domes in Lassen that formed around 1,100 years ago.

Here's our group with Josh center stage. This is the basin. Still need more snow. Coverage okay.

Looks like some good skiing up in the couloir. I would like to when it's in good and solid shape.

The party afterwards. We stopped at this cool pizza place and toasted to the New Year!
Check us out~www.norcaladventurers.com

Mt. Shasta Jan. 4, 2010

Jason and his 2 beautiful daughters. Starting them early. Way to go!

This is Broadway. Coverage is getting better and better. Lower Broadway down through the trees has been good skiing. Today it warmed up making it just right.

The skin up the last section before reaching tree line. It's a grunt!

The rewards!!!

Mt. Eddy across the way on the west side located in the Eddys, Klamath Mountain Range.

Another great spring ski.

Here's to a Fun "2010" Year.
Cheers!!!

Coverage is good on Mt. Shasta

2009-12-27T17:44:00.000-08:00

This morning was a beautiful morning and then the clouds came rolling in.

Heading up towards the Gemini Tree.

Coverage is pretty good now in the gulch. Still need a little more snow especially on the s.e. slopes of Casaval Ridge.

Got this picture right before the clouds starting rolling in. A few slides happening above Helen Lake below the Trinity Chutes. Beware of avalanches. Signs are out there.

Opening Day, Mt. Shasta Ski Park 90/10 Season

2009-12-17T13:44:00.000-08:00

Opening Day at Mt. Shasta Ski Park

Surprisingly, coverage is pretty darn good. All 3 chairlifts are running.

Hooked up with my good friends Mike and Beth. Mike enjoying the first turns of the season.

Beth taking a break outside on the deck. Getting ready for a few more turns.

I took this picture from the top of Douglas looking over at the Coyote Runs and Mt. Shasta.

It took a few runs and a beer before taking this shot. Thanks for taking the picture Mike. A great first day at Mt. Shasta Ski Park!

It's Dumping on Mt. Shasta

2009-12-15T13:07:00.000-08:00

Ski Season is here. It's dumping!!! Road is plowed at this time.

Ended up brakin trail 8-10 inches deep and some places a foot all the way up to around 8,000 ft. It was definitely a workout especially for the beginning of the season, but worth it.

Looking over towards Casaval Ridge. Still needs a bit more coverage. Lots of rocks showing. Looks like we may get another 8-12 inches. That should do the trick.

Getting ready for the descent. It was slow. Had to stay in my tracks to get a good glide down. Maybe by tomorrow Green Butte Ridge via Broadway will be in good shape through the trees.
Here's to a awesome ski season. Cheers and Happy Skiing!

Not much has changed...on Mt. Shasta

2009-12-07T11:55:00.001-08:00

We weren't as fortunate as the Tahoe area for snow with this last storm. We got maybe 1-2 inches at Bunny Flat.

Still need lots more snow at Bunny Flat.

The road to the Old Ski Bowl is packed snow. I wasn't very motivated after seeing the lack of snow. I was hoping for a lot more. It went south of us.

Casaval Ridge is pretty barren and exposed right now. The winds have been strong.

Zoomed in with my new camera from BF to Red Banks. Not bad with a 7x optical zoom. Stay tuned for more snow on the way...

Current Snow Conditions, Mt. Shasta

2009-11-30T13:12:00.000-08:00

I drove up to Bunny Flat this morning and decided to skin up the road to the Old Ski Bowl.

It's still pretty barren at Bunny Flat. Lots of rocks and manzanita.

This is what the Gulch looks like right now. It got pretty wind scoured from the past storm.

I zoomed in looking at Helen Lake down to 50/50. Coverage still questionable.

I skinned up the road to the Old Ski Bowl. This is what conditions look like in the upper bowls.

Lots of snowmobilers and skiers over the weekend. This morning I had it to myself. Found some decent turns in the snow filled areas and coming down the road was pretty fun.
Do the Snow Dance!!!

Redding, California Touring and Exploring

2009-11-15T15:51:00.000-08:00

I've spent the past 3 months preparing for a bus tour I did today. It was a great success and I learned a lot along the way. Here's a few tidbits about Redding, California.

Redding's #1 Attraction yes folks, the Sundial Bridge completed July 4, 2004. It's located at Turtle Bay, a unique pedestrian bridge that crosses the Sacramento River and connects the Nationally-designated trail system in Redding.

Sundial is used to measure time. Due to it's angle and location across the river, the only day that it accurantly tells time is June 21, Summer Solstice.

This is known as the Top of the World, located in the western part of Redding. It was a nice 500 ft. of elevation gain to the top. A great bike ride. Hooked up with meet-up group out of Redding~Norcalaventurers.com. Great group of people to have fun with.

View from the Top of the World~Lake Mary...who knew, what a great view!

This is the Clear Creek Gorge on Clear Creek. A new overlook has been built by the Bureau of Land Management to watch the Salmon Spawn. It's a beautiful area. Hike or bike along the Clear Creek Greenway Trail.
Reading's Bar just a mile up the road is the second major discovery of gold in California discovered by Major Pierce Barton Reading in 1848.

I spent some time at Shasta State Historic Park. There's quite a bit of history about the entire area. A excellent Gun Collection, Art Collection and Interpretive Displays of the history.

Here's the jail located on the first floor or maybe the basement. Any yes, there is a ghost. This is where Joaquin Miller was jailed for being accused as a horse thief.

The Gallows
What's the difference between a hanging and a lynching? A hanging was legal, a lynching was not.

Downtown Redding has some interesting buildings and history including the Cascade Theater built in 1935. Very interesting Art Deco architecture. The inside is a tour in itself. Very beautiful.

The 3 Shastas. Shasta Dam, Shasta Lake and Mt. Shasta (not seen due to clouds that day). Shasta Dam was built in 1938 and completed in 1944. It was primarily built for flood control, agriculture, irrigation, fish and wildlife management and recreation. Shasta Lake is the largest man-made lake in California with 365 miles of shoreline and of course the magestic Mt. Shasta.

I really enjoyed spending the time to get to know Redding and it's surroundings. There quite a bit of fun stuff to do. Check it out!

Current Conditions on Mt. Shasta

2009-11-12T10:28:00.000-08:00

Took a drive up Mt. Shasta to check out current conditions. I was hoping to ski the road from Bunny to the Old Ski Bowl but the coverage is still pretty grim. A couple inches on the road. Pretty windy up high but good base from previous storms.Looks like it's going to be a good ski and climbing season. A couple more storms and we'll be in business.
Gate is closed at Bunny Flat until next summer.
Have a great weekend!

Cinder Cone at Lassen National Park and Hat Creek Fire Complex, Mt. Shasta's Mystery

2009-10-11T19:16:00.000-07:00

I've been wanting to hike up Cinder Cone for sometime. I've been to this area hiking to Snag Lake and Prospect Peak but never did Cinder Cone. So here I am.

Cinder Cone~6,907 ft.

It is a about a 4 mile trek round trip. The last part of to the Cinder Cone is the steepest 700 ft elevation gain. I found using the "Duck Walk" technique made it a breeze to the top. Which it was-a bit breezy that is.

Looking into the crater. It is a 1,000 ft. in diameter and 230 feet deep. There is a trail to the bottom.

Looking towards Snag Lake with Fantastic Lava Beds in background. It was a pretty smokey-filled day with prescribed burning going on. Speaking of fires...

Hat Creek Complex Fire
Aug. 11, 2009. Over 11,000 acres. Looking out towards Sugar Loaf Ridge.

I took this picture at the Hat Creek Overlook. It got pretty fried. Amazingly, all the structures and the interpretive displays were all saved.

This picture is still a mystery. It was taken on the lower slopes on Mt. Shasta in the tree plantations. It's a deep hole. Around 60 ft. deep, 20 ft. wide and 50 ft. long. These two 5 gallon buckets at the bottom of the hole seem to be the primary tool for digging the hole. It was found by forest workers. Whoever(s) dug this sure put a lot of time and energy into it. What do you think...a hole to Telos, the Lemurians, Gold within the mountain, a war shelter, who knows...
What do you think?

Have a few friends with Birthdays this month. Want to wish everyone a
"Happy Birthday!"

Granite Peak Hike~Trinity Alps Wilderness

2009-09-14T22:32:00.000-07:00

This is Granite Peak 8,091 feet located in the Trinity Alps Wilderness.

I've been wanting to hike this trail for years. My friend Dee and I got together and did it. I will say it's a strenuous hike. 4,000 ft. elevation gain in 4.5 miles. It was a good workout!

Along the trail~Butterfly enjoying the day.

Dee Enjoying the views at the top. Granite Peak in the background.
There use to be a fire lookout here. Now just remnants left behind.

Awesome Views of the Trinity Alps from the top. Looking northwest.

More Awesome Views.

Looking down the southeast
side from the top. Major avalanche path.

Looking at Red Mountain. Stoney Ridge Trail Connector.

Now is this a pose or what?

Another great trip. The Trinity Alps is one of those hidden jewels still waiting to be discovered.

Part 1 Newberry Crater Monument- Central Oregon

2009-09-02T21:17:00.000-07:00

I took a four day trip to Oregon and Washington.
Part 1 Newberry Crater Monument located in Central Oregon.

.These peaks are the Three Sisters-North, Middle and South peaks part of the Cascade Mountain Range. There are 15 glaciers altogether on these peaks.

First stop in the monument. These are Paulina Falls. This is an 80 ft. waterfall over volcanic cliffs into a canyon.

I took this picture from Paulina Peak looking towards Paulina Lake, the highest point in the monument-7,985 ft.

This picture was taken at the Big Obsidian Flow, a major attraction in the monument. A one-mile trail with interpretive signs along the way.

The Big Obidian flow in full view. 1,300 years, it's the youngest lava flow in Oregon. Over 170 cubic yards of obsidian and pumice.

Here's a close up of Paulina Lake. There are actually 2 lakes in the area. Paulina Lake and East Lake. The caldera may have originally held one large lake, but deposits of pumice and lava divided the crater into two separate bodies of water.

Throughout Oregon and Washington most of the forests I went through was Douglas Fir and Lodgepole Pine forests. This lichen is called Lacy Lichen found primarily on Douglas Fir.

I camped at Little Crater Campground. Nice place to stay. All campgrounds in the monument are $16 per night.

My next stop was at the Lava Cast Forest. This forest is lava approximately 7000 years old originated from vents from the Newberry Volcano. The molten lava enveloped the trees and quickly cooled around them forming a mold. The pines eventually burned to charcoal or ash.

Lava Cast Forest Lava Flow.

Third stop at the Lava River Cave. This one-mile cave is the longest lava tube in Oregon.

I walked most of it. There are a few stairways like this and narrow spots too! Day use only. Check out a lantern free of charge or make sure you have a good flashlight.

These are known as Benham Falls located on the northwest border of the monument. A great trail for hiking, bicycling and equestrain. Great wildlife watching too.

Here's a picture I took of Mt. Hood, Oregon. One of the glaciers. Not sure which one.

Part 2- Mt. St. Helens Climb, Washington State

2009-09-02T19:37:00.000-07:00

Part 2 Mt. St. Helens, Washington
My first stop in Washington was at the beautiful Lower Lewis River Falls. There are many waterfalls in the area.

Made it just in time for dinner. Had a great chicken salad from Trader Joe's. My next stop was to pick up the climbing permit for climbing Mt. St. Helen and head up to the Climber's Bivouac-campground for climbing Mt. St. Helens.

Headed up the trail at 6:45a.m. It's a strenuous hike/scramble 5 miles with a 4,500 ft. elevation gain to the summit. The trail head is at 3,700 ft. and the summit crater is 8,365.

Here is the steep scrambling portion of the hike. There is a quota system for climbing the mountain. It is a 100 permits a day. Going up was the easy part. Coming down was a different story. A little more challenging. Looking forward to coming back and skiing it.

This is at the top of the steep rock portion. Volcanic instruments are in place for determining volcanic activity.

The last part of the climb before reaching the summit. It was soft sand at around 20 degrees of steepness. I found using the duck walk climbing technique with the rest step made it a enjoyable last stretch.

Made it to the summit at 10:30a.m. Met a fun group of people on top.

Here's looking into the crater.

Highest point on Mt. St. Helens. Alison and Lee enjoying the views. Nice meeting you both.

Looking across the crater. Heard some major rock fall coming off the ridge.

Steam coming from the crater. The rim is very unstable and activity continues to be monitored.

Mount Rainier in the distance.

Had a great time climbing and afterwards stopped back by the Lone Fir Resort for a hot shower, dinner with new climbing friends and a nice room for the night. Unexpectingly, I had some truck difficulties and everyone was very kind helping me out. It all worked out and I made it home safely.

Northgate Trailhead Hike with Norcaladventurers

2009-08-24T09:02:00.000-07:00

Norcaladventurers Meet-up again. A group of 8 of us hiked up to basecamp from the Northgate Trailhead. It was a great hike, awesome weather and incredible views.

Very fun group of people. We hiked up to Base camp at around 9,500 ft.

View of Hotlum/Bolam Ridge Route. Hotlum Glacier.

Ken enjoying the views.

View of Hotlum Glacier from the trailhead.

A Honda Fit at the trailhead. I'm always amazed. For those of you who have traveled this road, knows what I mean.

Sifford Lake/King Creek Falls Hike, Afternoon Hike to Caldwell Lakes

2009-08-03T21:56:00.000-07:00

I headed over to Lassen this week and hooked up with a group of people from norcaladventurers.com. A great site full of adventure. Check it out!

We first hiked into Sifford Lake. It was very peaceful.

Rock formations along the trail.

Beautiful King Creek Falls. The reward at the end of the rainbow.

The next day my friend Jude and I took a afternoon hike to Caldwell Lakes. Jude enjoying the afternoon beer hour.

This is Upper Caldwell Lake. A great lake but a bit mucky and shallow water for swimming.

"SneezeWeed" Yellow Flower.

Another great few days of exploring the Mt. Shasta and Lassen Park Regions.

"Mount Shasta Adventures" Slide Show

2009-07-29T21:09:00.000-07:00

I heard today that a kayaker broke the world record nearly 200 ft over Palouse Falls in Washington State reaching estimated speeds of 100 m.p.h.

This picture was taken by Shasta Base Camp. A kayaker going over Middle McCloud Falls.
Only for the very experienced. Class???

I'll be giving a slide show "Mount Shasta Adventures" Thursday July 30 at the Stage Door Cafe at 7:00 pm. Check it out!

Bay Area Trip to REIs, Coast and Wine Country

2009-07-24T10:21:00.000-07:00

The past few days I've been exploring the Bay Area and doing Powerpoint Presentations at the REI Stores. I want to thank everyone for coming to my presentations. Had great turnouts!

Drove down the 1 from Pacifica down to Half Moon Bay. Can anyone tell my what this is?

It's nice being at the coast again. Turned out to be a beautiful day.

I stopped at the Jack London State Park. Figure I better check it out just in case the park ends up closing which may happen. This is the museum. Jack London was a famous writer. "The Valley of the Moon" was one of his best known books.

"Wolf House" a dream almost come true for Jack. Built from local volcanic rock burnt down a month before moving in. Unfortunately, Jack died of poor health before rebuilding it.

My last stop before reaching Santa Rosa was at one of the Wineries. It's a family owned Winery named Benziger. Good tasting stuff!

As always, Have a great weekend!

Panther Meadows in Bloom/Family Outing

2009-07-20T17:24:00.000-07:00

This week was family outing week. My sister and three nephews came up from Southern California. It was and still is hot. Great for swimming!This is Lucas enjoying the cool water at Lake Siskiyou.

Yep! Summer's Here.

This is Mountain Heather found at 8,000 ft. elevation. It is in full bloom right now. It is very fragile. Once trampled on, it takes 200-400 years for it to regrow. Please stay on the trails in Panther Meadows Area.

This is one of the sacred springs on Mt. Shasta. Can you guess where it's located?

The Indian Paintbrush just starting to bloom on the higher elevations on the mountain.

I'll be in the Bay Area this week doing slide show presentations at the REI stores. Check it out.
Tuesday July 21, Berkeley 7:00 p.m.
Wednesday July 22, San Carlos 7:00 p.m.
Thursday July 23, Santa Rosa 7:00 p.m.

Dead Fall Lakes/Sisson-Callahan Trail Hike

2009-06-25T17:15:00.000-07:00

I've been wanting to check the Sisson-Callahan Trail for a while now. I called my friend Dee and we decided to check it out. We set up a car shuttle. Left his truck at Morgan Meadows and drove mine up to Parks Creek Summit Trailhead.

Crimson Colombine Wildflower
We began our hike on the Pacific Crest Trail to Dead Fall Lakes. The wildflowers were just starting to bloom. It's still pretty water saturated from the last storms we got. I bet in the next 2 weeks, the wildflowers will be a spectacular show.

I'm amazed with the Mountain Mahogony that is found in this area. It usually is found mostly in volcanic lava type terrain.

Upper Dead Fall Lake

Foxtail Pine
It is a rare pine only found in two areas in California with two separate subspecies in each, the Klamath Mountains along the Mt. Eddy Trail and in the Southern Sierra.

The Sisson-Callahan Trail is one the of 47 National Recreation Trails and historically was used for travel between the forest service districts constructed in 1911. Last summer, 500 Boy Scout volunteers did major trail work on the trail. It is more defined and easier to follow now.

Bear Grass
The Bear Grass is out in bloom. We saw a lot of it on the Sisson-Callahan Trail at the lower elevations. Dee thanks for taking great pictures.

For Siskiyou County Locals,
Check out 102.3 radio Friday at noon
Friday Scenic Byways and Highways with Me about the Waterfalls in the area.

As always, Have a great weekend!

Hotlum/Wintun Ski to Lassen Ski

2009-06-11T18:09:00.000-07:00

Wednesday I headed to the northeast side of the mountain known as the Hotlum/Wintun and met up with good friends and met some new friends too.

The Brewer Creek Drainage.

Here's Ed leading the crew.

As we were skinning up, we got majorly rained on, hailed on , large feathery snow flakes up high and loud thunderheads rumbling. Visability was poor above 9500 ft. We headed down and after a couple beers and waiting out the rain, we decided Lassen was the ticket for the best skiing!

I took this picture of Manzanita Lake Thursday morning as we heading up to the Lassen Summit Trailhead.

Getting ready to head up at the Lassen Trailhead. Here is Lisa and Damien. Our new friends from Santa Cruz. Nice meeting you both. Great fun !

Here I am at the summit getting ready for the decent. We booting it up to the summit. The best way of travel at this time. Just head up the trail.

Carol tearing it up. What a great trip.
Thanks everyone. Another sucessful ski adventure.
And as always~Have a great weekend everyone!
