Redding for Snow Adventures?!

Redding and Lassen Winter Adventures

Where can you snowshoe on an active volcano? Cross-country ski in well-marked wilderness? Downhill ski where there's plenty of powder, and no crowds? Redding is the answer to your next winter adventure! This alternative to the typical Sierra ski scene is set in a stunning Northern California landscape that's practically untapped in winter! Iconic mountains like Lassen and Shasta are powdery wintry wonderlands. Strap on some snowshoes at Lassen Volcanic National Park and explore the (active!) volcanic terrain on a do-it-yourself adventure, or on a ranger-led snowshoe tour where they'll lend you the equipment. Perhaps the best-kept secret for downhill skiing in Northern California is Mount Shasta Ski Park. With 425 acres of ski terrain, you can choose from 32 trails over 1,435 vertical feet. It's all powder, no crowds! Nearby, Mount Shasta Nordic Center offers marked backcountry and groomed Nordic trails. Redding, set, snow!

Snow Kidding: Redding has all the snow and none of the crowds this winter. Get inspired for your Redding snow vacation!
