NOAA: 15″ Forecasted for Mt. Shasta, CA Today 14,162-foot Mt. Shasta in Northern California is a monster. Shasta rises 10,000-vertical-feet above the surrounding rolling terrain. Mt. Shasta gets the most snow in California. Mt. Shasta set the US single storm snowfall record at 189 inches of snow (15.75 feet) from February 13th until February 19th, 1959. Shasta is no stranger to big snowfalls and we’re hoping that 2014/15 will be no exception.

Las Lenas, Argentina Conditions Report: Powder & Sunshine Las Lenas ski resort in Argentina just got a decent storm and things are looking good in the wind is the curse of Las Lenas.
