Mt. Ashwabay history. The Bodin family photos.
Mt. Ashwabay has a long history. In these two photos [(l) Dick and Rosie Bodin with (r) Jeff Bodin and Bonnie Bodin Moskowitz] the familiar terrain of the hill(s) can be seen in the background. If anyone else has old photos of Mt. Ashwabay email them to shutterwi@gmail.com and I will post them.
WELCOME !!
Another new 'feature' at the hill. A great new sign to greet skiers.
Racing anyone? Someone set a course!
Snow guns.
Snow guns in wait. The guns are stored off of the major runs during active skiing times. Snow making has given Mt. Ashwabay the ability to extend it's season. For many years the hill had to depend solely on nature for it's snow. Now all they need is cold weather.
A high school ski racer practicing. Running gates!
A current view from the top.
This is a the view from the top of Mt. Ashwabay. Actually it's the view from one of the starting gates of the new starting house on the top of the hill. The new starting house has four gates, two starter positions and a large heated room for the skiers to warm in before a race. Mt. Ashwabay has a long history of encouraging skiing and ski racing. Notice the open water. This photo was taken on January 14, 2006. Click on the photo (any photo) for a larger version. Look close for the Madeline Island Ferry crossing toward Madeline Island from Bayfield WI.
