Greatresort. Not many runs but good variety, and enough for a couple of fun days.Good park.Slow lifts.Quiet slopes.Fantastic value! With a ski free voucher you can ski for as little as 8 bucks!Recommend!
Shasta is a great little resort, within driving distance of Redding, southern Oregon, and even Sacramento. This place reminds me of Lake Tahoe 30 years ago. Friendly, small, uncrowded runs, short lift lines. There is plenty of terrain served by the 3 chairlifts that they operate.
I drove up here with husband right after Christmas for a ski lesson. There was no natural snow, just man-made. One run was open (level 3). My husband bought a (reduced price) ticket and rode down the run all day. I was put in a class with Ben. He was VERY helpful and did a great job of teaching the basics. I purchased the "guaranteed to ski" package, which gets you as many lessons as it takes to get you up a level 2 lift with an instructor. Since there was no level 2 lift open, I got three lessons and a voucher to come back again for another when a level 2 run is open. I was thrilled!The nachos with chili were excellent. The staff went above and beyond in every way, and were extremely friendly. The equipment room people asked all about our day, and the ski lift operator complimented me on my improved skills (awww, thanks dude!). When I called the day before to book the lesson, the woman I talked to on the phone was very professional and helpful about what to expect/bring/wear. Everyone was so nice! The music playing on the bunny hill put us both in a great mood, and the FREE tubing (with ticket) was a lot of fun as well. The tubing workers could not have been friendlier to every darn kid (and adult) that passed through. We had so much fun we extended our trip and came back another day as well.I can't wait for this park to open back up. Great community feeling and friendly people. We will definitely return time and time again. I am so glad my first ski experience was on this mountain, and that my intermediate-skilled husband had a great time as well!
Well, when you arrive the service is excellent; however, after being their a few hours it gets boring. There's few trails to use so after some time I was bored.
Great place for families and beginner/Intermediate skiers. Very predictable drive time to Mount Shasta. Rarely do traffic or bad highway conditions slow things to a crawl. Once at the park, there is easy access to the mountain, friendly staff, and decent facilities. I agree with other posts, this is more of a cruiser's place than a bunch of downhill runs. Still, the trails will keep you occupied for a day or two. This is not a high-end ski experience, but it's a great and affordable place to take the kids to get then used to skiing. Also, Mount Shasta is simply a beautiful spot.
i always ski at Mt Shasta since it is quite affordable in a beautiful area and friendly staff... What we can call fa low key place!Season after season we try to stop for a weekend or half week.
Three lifts, tons of great runs, never too crowded even when parking lot is full. Great terrain park or tree skiing/boarding for those wanting to take it to that level.
Nice and safe skiing place with good coaching available for beginners. Fun place to spend a weekend with friends.
Weak. Sorry, but it's true. Especially compared to other places in the NW and West. Most CA skiiers probably think it's OK. Low elevation means scant, heavy snow. Runs mostly beginner cruiser type.
We have skied all over the world and are extremely concerned about the hazardous conditions (no safety bars on chair lifts) and out of control snowboarders (with no oversight) at Mt. Shasta ski park.
