sepultura Posted May 26, 2014 Posted May 26, 2014 Going down to Shasta for the first time next week and I am looking for current info. Wondering if anyone can tell me if the Wintun-Hotlum Route is still in shape for a ski descent, or advice on what route would be best right now for skis or boots. Looking to summit with the family so easier routes are what we had in mind. Thanks! Quote
Whatcomboy Posted May 30, 2014 Posted May 30, 2014 SMG Shasta Mountain Guides are good for reports on ski mountaineering route conditions on Shasta. Give em a call. I climbed Avalanche Gulch last Friday and saw a few skiing from below red rocks, 12,500 maybe. Above that it was too wind blown for skis. Quote
sepultura Posted May 31, 2014 Author Posted May 31, 2014 Thanks on that Whatcomboy! I will give them a shout! How was Avy Gulch holding up? Quote
Whatcomboy Posted May 31, 2014 Posted May 31, 2014 Very good. Snow starts about 8000 ft. Camped at Helen Lake. Was surprised to see so few people. Big area to ski in. Easy solo to summit. Quote
Pete04 Posted August 11, 2014 Posted August 11, 2014 Has anyone been on the north side in the last week or two? Quote
