12th Annual Shasta Ascension Backcountry Race
2026-01-24 10:00 - 12:00 | Mount Shasta Ski Park, 4500 Ski Park Hwy, McCloud, 96057, United States
The Friends of the Mount Shasta Avalanche Center present the 12th annual Shasta Ascension Backcountry Race, a backcountry ski and splitboard race. It follows a traditional ski-mo (ski mountaineering) format of a timed event that follows an established trail through challenging winter alpine terrain while passing through a series of checkpoints. Racers climb and descend under their own power using backcountry skiing equipment and techniques.
Randonee (AT), telemark, and split boards are welcome. Racers should be comfortable climbing and descending advanced terrain.
This year we’re continuing with categories for the groms! Got a youngster at home that charges harder than you do, (no shame, they all do) get ’em signed up for the Shasta Ascension Junior Course!
We have $1000 in prize money for the top three male and female competitors!
Costumes are encouraged! This year’s costume theme is Cosmic Ascension! The aliens have arrived, and they’ve tasked you and 150 of your friends with competing for the metaphorical crown of King and Queen of the Ascension. The aliens want to know, who is the champion of all the humans?
So scrape that storage wax off your skis, sharpen those edges, and get down to race up the mountain in support of the Mount Shasta Avalanche Center! Prizes will be given for best costume! And really, any and all costumes are encouraged!
