The canyon does not appear safe to descend from either side for several miles due to these loose moraine walls which never stop avalanching. Entry from the head of the canyon (where I entered) is safe but a lot of work to get to. I circled back to the ski lift & my faithful VW, arriving at 7:15 AM. An Oregon Junco sat on the railing of the resort building. Ski Bowl is reached by a 15 mile long paved 2 lane road which begins in Mt. Shasta City. Apparently under all the snow at Ski Bowl is Panther Meadow! You'd never guess it. Dr Miller apparently camped at the meadow for a week in July of 1989. Will spend the night at McBride Spring Campground (USFS) located up the Ski Bowl Rd about 4 miles from Mt. Shasta City. Camp is in trees, has tables, toilets, piped & stream water, stoves, etc. Room for about 8 parties (6 now occupied). June 11 Mt. Shasta, Siskiyou Co., California clear, warm, still. 7:55AM.
