Community-Supported Skiing & Outdoor Recreation

Mt. Ashwabay is a non-profit ski hill and outdoor recreation area in Bayfield, Wisconsin overlooking Lake Superior and the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore.

Our facilities are cozy and modest to make way for the miles of peaceful terrain maintained and supported by our community of volunteers and donors.

Join us at the mountain for a laid-back day of skiing, snowshoeing, hiking, or biking. We'll be here to say hello and make you feel at home.
