Mt Ashwabay - Ski and Recreation Area | Mt. Ashwabay

MOUNTAIN BIKE UPDATE: 4/3/2021 Happy Spring!! Just a heads up about the Ashwabay trail status. I know we're all itching to get back out on the trails on our bikes, especially with the nice weather this weekend, but the trails are not quite ready for us yet. There is still about a foot of snow on parts of North facing trails that needs to melt. It's especially bad on Tsuga Daddy. Also, the frost is still coming out of the ground making for potential muddy conditions that can be worsened with bike or foot traffic. It's best just to be patient and take a ride on the roads to get your legs spinning and ready for trail riding. See you on the trails soon enough!

As of 3/20, our Fat Bike Trails are closed. Riding wet trails causes RUTS.... which will need to be fixed by our volunteer crew. CAMBA Mountain Bike Trails usually open up during the second week in May. Please read more at CAMBA or our MTN Bike Page.
