TL;DR
Mt. Shasta Ski Park has shut down for the 2025-26 season after just 55 days on snow, with unseasonably warm weather and California's worst snowpack in a decade making continued operations impossible. Season pass holders are getting credits, and the resort is going out with a St. Patrick's Day party — because what else do you do when it's 70°F on a ski mountain.
Mt. Shasta Ski Park Shuts Down for the Season After Just 55 Days on Snow
California's northernmost ski area has closed for the season, and it didn't go out quietly — temperatures near Mt. Shasta City are forecast to hit 70°F next week, with Redding potentially reaching the 90s. When your local weather looks more like summer than spring, there's not much a ski resort can do.
Mt. Shasta Ski Park, an independently owned area and Indy Pass partner, made the call on 10 March after a season disrupted multiple times by warm spells and rain. The resort had already shuttered temporarily on 9 February, reopened, then closed again on 2 March before making the final call. Total days on snow for the season: 55, just shy of the 60-day guarantee offered to season pass holders.
What Happens to Season Pass Holders
Anyone holding a season pass will receive credits valid for the 2026-27 winter. Given the resort came up five days short of its guarantee, that's the appropriate call — and worth knowing if you had a pass this year or are considering one for next season.
