🎿 Backcountry touring · CaliforniaMount Shasta (Bunny Flat): avalanche danger & snow
Avalanche Gulch and Green Butte from Bunny Flat. Spring summit ski season is the big draw.
This is not a safety call. The danger rating shown is a one-word summary copied from the official avalanche center once a day. Conditions change by the hour and vary by aspect and elevation. Before you go into avalanche terrain, read the full forecast from the official center, carry a beacon, shovel and probe, and travel with trained partners. Snowfall numbers are computer-model estimates, not measurements.
Mount Shasta Avalanche Center has not issued a danger rating for this area today. That usually means early or late season. It does not mean the snow is safe.
