Mt. Ashwabay and Bayfield’s music venues represent decades of community passion and creativity.
But maintaining ski trails, performance spaces, concerts, and cultural programming requires long-term support and collaboration.
The Ashwabay Alliance brings together organizations, supporters, and community members who care deeply about these places.
Together we can ensure the mountain and the music continue to thrive.
