Climbing and splitboarding day tour in Mt. Shasta

Want to take your splitboarding skills to the next level? Our one- day tour in Mt. Shasta is the perfect opportunity for experienced riders who are looking for new challenging adventures!

With a summit of 14,125 feet (4321.8 m) above sea level, Mount Shasta is the fifth highest mountain in the State of California and the second highest of the Cascade Range. This potentially active volcano in northern California is also one of the world’s preeminent sacred mountains.

The day before our adventure, we’ll arrange a meeting, define our itinerary and make sure all participants have the necessary equipment. Then we’ll set off and ascend through the Avalanche Gulch Route. This is the easiest and most popular way to climb Mount Shasta. Finally, we will descend down its east side, through the Hotlum-Wintun Route which as the name implies, separates the Hotlum and Wintun Glaciers. However, skiers and splitboarders may find that there are many other possible routes and all of them offer up to 7,000 feet of challenging and exciting terrain.

Because this is a challenging excursion, we recommend this trip for experienced riders. Additionally, it is necessary to have an excellent fitness level. Moreover, skills in ice axe, crampons and rope will be necessary to reach the summit. And if you’ve participated in any Splitboard or Ski Mountaineering Clinic before, you’ll enjoy this trip even more.
