The summer climbing season runs from late April until October, although many attempts are made in the winter.<ref name="selters_zanger" /> Mount Shasta is also a popular destination for [[backcountry skiing]]. Many of the climbing routes can be descended by experienced skiers, and there are numerous lower-angled areas around the base of the mountain.<ref name="selters_zanger" />

No quota system currently exists for climbing Mount Shasta, and reservations are not required. However, climbers must obtain a summit pass and a wilderness permit to climb the mountain.<ref>{{cite web| url = http://www.fs.usda.gov/detail/stnf/home/?cid=stelprdb5353013| title = Mount Shasta Wilderness Permits and Summit Passes| publisher = U.S. Forest Service| access-date = 2014-01-26| archive-date = 2014-02-04| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20140204042734/http://www.fs.usda.gov/detail/stnf/home/?cid=stelprdb5353013| url-status = live}}</ref>
