However, we did see people skiing down from Horse Camp or above right up to the edge near the parking lot at Bunny Flat. So, most of the way down from the top of the mountain you could ski if the conditions were right and it wasn't too icy. For example, at night you probably wouldn't want to be skiing because the ice likely would be fatal above Horse camp and Lake Helen on Mt. Shasta.
So, if you are in Mt. Shasta city it is melting off so you can see the ground mostly only on the left side of Shastina leaving the main Valley from Red Banks and Thumb Rock down to most of Bunny Flat with snow enough for people to ski on as of yesterday.
If you are looking up from the city of mt. Shasta at the mountain Shastina is the cinder cone left from an eruption sometime in the past it sits to the left of the peak of mt. Shasta together with it. I think Shastina is about 12,000 feet in altitude and Mt. Shasta is around 14,000 plus a couple of hundred feet or so.
