Probably will never know. But props to whomever that is.
Way to go for summiting and skiing one of my favorite mountains in the Coast Range!
Who was up at Anthony Peak on Monday? I usually don't see anybody else's tracks up there except for a couple peeps I know.
Found this on the summit cam.

Thinking of heading up on Monday and skiing Tuesday. Would be good to hear about the conditions in the next few days.
Hopefully the snow will be a little softer than last week...
Skip to 2:37...

Had to drop off the Tacoma in St. Helena for some body work last week.
While I waited, I went for a ride.
Rode up to Angwin, dropped Teepee Trail and descended Dan's Wild Ride back into town....
30 minute hike to skin-able snow.
Skied down from 9000' at around 11:30am

Shasta was shot for spring skiing, so I decided to do some mt. bike road trips to places I've always wanted to go.

Nice report mr. hankey! Been there many times. The route finding is comical. Never used a GPS there, just followed my compass up to the 'ridge' from the TH. Only got lost once.

Heading up there today. How far up is the vehicle high point @ Brewer Creek?
Got up on the east side of Shasta yesterday. I drove up the 97 thinking I was going to the Inconstance TH, but the snow looked pretty high up. So I kept driving on Military Pass Rd., past the...

Head up directly to the North Gate Chutes or take a left line, hugging...

To answer your question a little more - Mendocino National Forest is the perfect place to ski in the winter. The snow pack experiences spring-like conditions every few days.
So the risk of...
Changed my mind. Too warm for the Coast Range.
Skied Shasta on Tueday, June 4th. North Gate TH is open. Drifts in the woods just above the trailhead. Hiked up for about an hour to skin-able...

Nice! I used to to get an entire month off for 5 or 6 years, back in the day... Spent it living out of my Jeep on Shasta. So much fun!
First few times with my Willy's Jeep, then the Wrangler. ...
Was the north side corned up or icy with this cool down?
Nice!
Anyone been to Shasta lately? Is it corn season yet?
How did that avy back in Feb. escape everyon's attention...? That's pretty big.
Can't wait for the early summer corn season up there!
Ha! Nice jimw!
Got some POV of your liberating descent?
Wanna see the looks on everyones faces at Lake Helen.
Excellent info Schralp - Thankyou!
Ah, I see, still pretty big. Yeah - that drift is a classic. It drifts in deep right there every year.
So about a mile of hiking.
Perfect - thanx for the info mr. hankey!
Nice work!
How big was that drift where you stopped? Hoping for more info from this weekend.
