The Fifth Season
Mount Shasta's complete outfitter for climbers, skiers, hikers, backpackers, and cyclists. They also issue summit permits and run a current-conditions hotline for the mountain. Far from just a gear store, it's probably the most important shop in the county for anyone heading up.
Mount Shasta Outdoor Gear and Rental Haven
A Mount Shasta institution since 1977, The Fifth Season is the town's complete outdoor outfitter. It's also the first stop for just about anyone heading up the mountain. Locally owned and staffed by genuine outdoor enthusiasts, this shop has equipped thousands of climbers, skiers, hikers, and cyclists with the right gear, clothing, and local advice. Whether you're renting mountaineering boots and crampons for a summit attempt, grabbing snowshoes for a winter outing, demoing skis, or just stopping in for a trail map and honest beta on current conditions, the team here knows the mountain inside and out. They also run an on-site bike repair shop for quick fixes that keep your ride going, and they're the place to pick up a summit pass before heading into the wilderness.
Friendly, knowledgeable, and refreshingly accessible, The Fifth Season is the kind of shop that turns a good mountain trip into a great one. And it's just a short stroll or drive from the Inn.
