cracked Posted May 9, 2003 Share Posted May 9, 2003 Anyone? What routes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpt.Caveman Posted May 10, 2003 Share Posted May 10, 2003 All of them. The only time I've been up there I slided on my ass for countless feet on the way down and wished I brought skis up. I didnt see any route that was not skiable by a goober. Even I could ski it in positive weather and shitty conditions. If I go to Mt Shasta again I would never think about going without some skis unless I was a summit hungry dipshit like half the mountaineer types that are up there. My excuse is that I was with some old dude and I was retarded for not skeetin the bitch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pindude Posted May 10, 2003 Share Posted May 10, 2003 Shasta rivals our local volcanos as an excellent ski or board trip back down. The dog/standard route is Avalanche Gulch from Bunny Flats. Last year, my group had a great ride down the Hotlum-Wintun route on the east side...I don't know all the routes on Shasta, but have to highly recommend that one over Avalanche Gulch and other south- and east-side routes as far as a ski or board descent. Do a search on cc.com, or telemarktips.com for that matter, and you'll find lots more beta. Skiing there should be good from now through the next 2 months. Have fun.

Off_Route Posted May 10, 2003 Share Posted May 10, 2003 Off the main route, from the base, you can bust a scramble over the ridge towards Shastina. Once yer crossing over, everything lays out into a a cool ascending traverse all the way to the saddle 'tween Shastina and Shasta. As it was, the glacier going up to the circus on the big one was a slog, but with substantial exposure over a couple big, partly hidden crevasses. Coming back down the dog route, the biggest hazard was the many bodies all decked out in fluffy parkas and GoreTex and laying down in the way. Much nicer by way of Shastina. For whatever its worth.

David_Parker Posted May 15, 2003 Share Posted May 15, 2003 Heard it's a great one by moonlight. I'm always interested to ski it if anyone's heading that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
