MT. ASHLAND SKI AREA
From atop the Siskiyou Crest, Mt. Ashland is Southern Oregon’s hub for outdoor recreation. Founded in 1964 and operated by a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, the Mountain offers access to hundreds of miles of trails for hiking, running and mountain biking. With a peak elevation of 7,533′ the alpine fun doesn’t stop there as the visitors can play 18 holes of exhilarating disc golf, free to play and open daily. This summer, Mt. Ashland’s Karen & Sid DeBoer Lodge will be open for Special Events from June through August consisting of everything from nostalgic Drive-In Movie Nights to Sip and Paints on the Bar Deck. Discover the excitement this summer at Southern Oregon’s Local Mountain Playground!

It’s the Announcement We’ve All Been Waiting For! 🎉
The Mt. Ashland Team is thrilled to unveil the plans to replace Ariel and Windsor Chairlifts!
Years in the making, we are undertaking a transformative infrastructure project to replace these two vital components of our Mountain’s lift system that are now outdated, increasingly costly to maintain, and less efficient by modern standards.
The replacement project, kicking off in the Spring of 2026 will install two new fixed-grip triple chairlifts that will enhance access to key terrain, reduce lift lines, improve operational efficiency, and ensure a consistent and comfortable experience for skiers and snowboarders of all abilities. In addition, these modern lifts will be more energy-efficient and resilient to wind and weather.
The work on both Chairlift upgrades is confined to existing, previously disturbed lift corridors. No new terrain is being developed. Conservation measures will be followed to protect nearby habitats, protect soil and flowering resources, and mitigate ecological impacts. Tree removal is targeted and strictly for lift safety.
To learn more about the future of Ariel and Windsor, see additional images and get a more in depth look at the details about the project click the link in our bio!!
And have no fear, the mechanical rooms for both lifts will have the iconic red and green that our beloved Chairs are known for!!
Here’s to the future of Mt. Ashland Ski Area! 🥳

Our uphill access status has changed. Our takedown is complete and post-season restrictions are lifted. Be aware that sun and warm temperatures are taking a toll on snowpack and highly variable conditions exist.
Equipment and vehicles will still be active and users must stay at least 100 ft. away. Have the ability to self-rescue as no patrol services are available. Many natural and manmade hazards exist and all users are entering the ski area at their own risk.
