Real-time cam of the mountain. Mt Shasta Avalanche Center Mt Shasta Climbing Advisory (this one especially helpful) In addition to the 5th Season, call the USFS Ranger Station. Have always found them most helpful and accurate with their conditions report.
If anyone's interested in an old trip report, here's one I did back in 2006 -
