Lassen Volcanic National Park truly transforms into a winter wonderland when covered in snow. Winter is a season of snow and solitude. Vehicle access is limited, but over-the-snow adventure is seemingly endless.
Enjoy Lassen’s winter wonderland by ski or snowboard! Cross-country ski along one of the park’s numerous winter routes or, for experienced explorers, backcountry ski and snowboard one of Lassen’s mountain slopes. Sled a wintery slope, build a snowman, or otherwise enjoy Lassen’s winter wonderland at the Manzanita Lake area. The steep slopes behind the Kohm Yah-mah-nee Visitor Center are a popular destination for sledders. Lassen’s deep snowfall also provides ample opportunity for snowplay.
