Skiing a Volcano in a Heatwave! Mt. Lassen Backcountry Mission

The old Gnar Bros crew reunited for a late-season backcountry ski mission to Mt. Lassen, California’s southernmost active volcano.br br We left Tahoe on Thursday afternoon and arrived at the trailhead around 8 PM. After a couple beers, some discreet camping, and way too little sleep, we were skinning by 5:30AM to beat the forecasted heatwave.br br Stats:br 🗻 4,400 feet of vertbr 🥾 7.5 miles round tripbr ❄️ Surprisingly great snow up top, the bottom was way better than it deserved to be!br br I was battling some glute pain and then a brutal stomach cramp in the final 800 feet... but we all tagged the summit and got to enjoy classic Lassen corn.br br This trip was a mix of reunion, nostalgia, and good energy, and the conditions delivered.br Whether you're into backcountry skiing, volcano descents, or just solid Type 2 fun, this one’s for you.br br 🎥 Shot on @GoPro Hero 11 Blackbr 🏔️ Learn more about Mt.
