HISTORY OF THE MOUNT SHASTA SKI BOWL
 
In 1959, a group of ambitious developers leased land from the Shasta-Trinity National Forest and opened a two-person chairlift on the southern flank of Mount Shasta. The lift used lattice towers that began at a base lodge at 7,800 feet and topped out above the timberline at 9,200 feet.
 
The Mount Shasta Ski bowl was the first developed ski area on the mountain, and it became one of the most impressive skiing areas in the U.S. during it’s nearly 20 years of operation.
 
The Ski Bowl’s opening advertisements bragged about Shasta being the largest ski bowl in the United States. The new area was popular, boasting 6,000 visitors in one weekend during its first month of business. Despite some successes and a great location, the resort suffered from financial problems throughout its existence. The Shasta Ski Bowl’s only profitable season was 1962-1963, when the resort had 40,000 visitors.
 
The mountain had new ownership in the early 1970s, and they had goals of finally making the resort profitable. Unfortunately for the owners and visitors of the Mount Shasta Ski Bowl, profits would be the least of their worries.
 
A devasting fire destroyed the impressive base lodge in 1971, crippling operations. Desperate to keep the business afloat, the new owners built a much smaller, unimpressive lodge at the base. Even while suffering from financial hardships, the resort managed to stay open for nearly seven more years. 
 
Mother Nature delivered a final blow to the resort in January of 1978, when a massive avalanche destroyed several towers on the Green Butte Chair Lift, ending all developed skiing in the area.
The Mount Shasta Ski Park was opened in 1985, in a lower location to avoid catastrophes like the 1978 avalanche.
 
Today, the Mount Shasta Ski Bowl area is accessed by hikers in the summer and mountaineers/backcountry skiers in the winter.
