Avalanche forecast · Mount Shasta
No Forecast· by Christian Jordan
Watch for signs of unstable snow such as recent avalanches, cracking in the snow, and audible collapsing. Avoid traveling on or under similar slopes.
Bottom Line
The first significant fall storm will impact Mount Shasta Thursday night into the weekend. Multiple feet of snow may accumulate above treeline by Sunday November 15. Additional snow is forecasted the week of November 16. The potential for avalanches will increase as enough snow accumulates for winter recreation. Choose mellower slopes less than 30 degrees if you observe signs of instability like blowing snow and shooting cracks.
Daily avalanche forecasts are scheduled to begin on December 1. In the meantime, we will update this advisory and the observations page as conditions warrant.
