Right now the Mt Shasta Ski Park has a 128 inche BASE! And more on
the way! This is it, unless you bonked your head on the ice last year,
and your still in a coma, this weekend can be a lifetime memory. For
years to come people will we talking about January 2008 in MT -
FREAKING - SHASTA! Mt Shasta is due to have sunny skies and more than
95 inches of new snow! No where in the United States are the
conditions better than right here. If you are learning to Snowboard
now is the time lots of soft snow to help cushion the falls.
If you choose to go backcountry, don't go above 5000 feet unless you
have extensive avalanche and survival training. Seriously keep in mind
that during a storm like this, you can not assume rescue can be
accomplished.
As of 0830 hrs on 1/5/08 both the Everitt Mem. Hwy. to Bunny Flat (so
sledding is limited to Snowman's Hill) and the Castle Lake roads
remain closed and gated. Down trees, deep snow and large wind drifts,
along with heavy snow fall on priority roads, will keep these closed
