NOTES: A series of storms blanketed Mount Shasta in the middle of November. Since then dry weather has persisted. Temperatures have fluctuated from the lower 20s to highs in the lower 40s. A strong inversion has been developing most days with cooler temperatures lingering throughout the Shasta Valley. The snow pack consists of fist hard snow with various crusts down 1 inch and 10 inches from the surface. It is possible to find smooth unaffected patches to ski or ride on near treeline. Above treeline is peppered with protruding rocks. Beware as the snowpack is shallow and many obstacles remain.
