A few words on the Snow at Mt. Shasta Ski Park

Mt. Shasta Ski Park has no detail snow data, but we estimate 300 inches snowfall due to the ski area's relatively low elevation on the mountain. The ski area is located below tree line because a higher ski area on Mt. Shasta was destroyed by avalanche in 1978. Average snow density of 12% is not the blower of the Rockies but easily managed on modern fat rockered skis.

Accumulation and Preservation

Mt. Shasta Ski Park's early season accumulation is average for western ski areas. Mt. Shasta is much closer to Oregon than to Lake Tahoe. Mt. Shasta Ski Park is about half south-facing and tops out at 6,900 feet, so overall snow preservation is not the greatest.
