- **Event Description**: Registration will open on December 1st! Check out the link for registration right here: https://raceroster.com/events/2026/112084/12th-annual-shasta-ascension-backcountry-race . This year's theme is "Cosmic Ascension", so put out a call to all your interstellar friends and tell them to get on down here for the most fun anyone has had on skis since the IOC started drug-testing.

The Friends of the Mount Shasta Avalanche Center and the Mount Shasta Ski Park present the 12th annual Shasta Ascension backcountry ski and splitboard race. 

Just a heads-up, we've added a Heavy Metal category! Bust out the leather pants and hairspray, 'cause it's your time to shine. (check the registration pages for details on gear weights)

The race follows a traditional ski-mo (ski mountaineering) format of a timed event that follows an established trail through challenging winter alpine terrain while passing through a series of checkpoints. Racers climb and descend under their own power using backcountry skiing equipment and techniques.

Randonee, telemark, and split boards are welcome. Racers should be comfortable climbing and descending advanced terrain. New last year and baqck again, we've added categories for the groms! Got a youngster at home that charges harder than you do, (no shame, they all do) get 'em signed up for the Shasta Ascension Junior Course!

Other Activities

The Fifth Season will be sponsoring a backcountry ski demo day. Leading companies representing backcountry ski gear are invited to attend. Demo the very best in ski mountaineering/randonee gear available on the market today for no charge (valid driver’s license and credit card required).

The Snow Ball will be happening at the City Park. This year's musical guest is Scott Pemberton! Tickets are available at The Fifth Season starting in December, or at the Ascension Race itself.

Additionally, back by popular demand, the Silent Auction will be virtual! Bid on items in the Silent Auction ranging from fly-fishing trips to backcountry gear, and just about everything in-between. Items will be added nearly every week from now until the start of the Silent Auction. Take a look and make sure you've got your plan to maximize your bids and help support the Avalanche Center. Open from January 18th through January 24th. If you're at the Snow Ball, you can take your winning items home with you!
