While offering only a modest vertical drop, Ashwabay does offer a variety of downhill skiing challenges, including some glade skiing and steep mogul runs. Another attractive feature of skiing at Ashwabay is the price; you can ski all day without having to fork over a day's pay. (2009 prices adults - $23, juniors/seniors - $18) Its cross country ski trail network is extensive as it interconnects with the Jerry Jay Jolly-Pike Creek trail system. And the trail fee includes a trip on the chairlift for easy access to the ridge trail network. And for snowshoeing the cross country trails were wide enough that I could hike adjacent to the tracks. Completing the menu of winter sports activities at Ashwabay is a tubing hill.
 The Lodge
Nothing fancy, but friendly and comfortable. Hot sandwiches, chili, soup, hot and cold beverages at affordable prices. Downhill Skiing
A great view of Chequamegon Bay from the top of the ski hill.
While the vertical drop is a fraction of the hills in the nearby UP there are challenging runs like this mogul field. And with short lift lines you can ski several miles a day. Cross Country Skiing
An extensive network of groomed and marked trails, wide enough for diagonal skating and snowshoeing.
