Mount Shasta Avalanche Center & Home of the Climbing Rangers

Mount Shasta Avalanche Center & Home of the Climbing Rangers Enriching the Mt Shasta area with real time snow, weather, avalanche and climbing information.

The “Friends” organization was founded in the Fall of 2002 by a group of local citizens concerned with the impact of budgetary shortfalls on the Mount Shasta Avalanche Center. Our mission is to help support the operations of the US Forest Service’s Avalanche Center in their efforts to enhance public awareness of backcountry avalanche hazards and safety measures, promote winter snow safety and prov

ide information concerning snow conditions and weather to winter recreationalists throughout the Mount Shasta area. FMSAC is a non-profit, local, member-based organization founded in 2002 in order to raise funds for the USDA Forest Service’s Mt Shasta Avalanche Center. FMSAC increases Public Awareness by promoting the MSAC’s FREE avalanche transceiver clinics and backcountry safety presentations. FMSAC increases avalanche forecast data and weather information accuracy by purchasing and installing Weather Stations and needed equipment at sites frequented by winter recreationalists. FMSAC holds monthly meetings open to the public in order to share and promote fundraising ideas and information and plan events.

In case you haven't seen any of the updates, we've moved our End of Season Party indoors to the Mountain Medics building at 2600 Spring Hill Rd.

Mother Nature took a look at our party and said...not today! But not to worry, we'll still be dancing our socks off...inside!
