MT. ASHLAND SKI AREA
From atop the Siskiyou Crest, Mt. Ashland provides terrain for skiers and riders of every ability. Founded in 1964 and operated by a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, Mt. Ashland is Southern Oregon’s hub for outdoor recreation. With a peak elevation of 7,533′ and over 200 acres of skiable terrain, find your happy place amongst our steeper terrain in The Bowl, one of dozens of groomed runs, in one of our tree glades or at the Learning Center.
Located just eight miles from I-5 near the Oregon-California border, Mt. Ashland features a full rental shop (with ski and snowboard rentals and tuning), several dining options, the T-Bar Lounge, a retail shop, and ski school.
This winter, come see for yourself why Mt. Ashland is your local mountain playground!
This past weekend was one for the history books! ❄️🏔️⛷️🏂
With 2.5 feet of fresh powder between Saturday and Monday, we couldn’t have asked for a better weekend to celebrate the opening of our new Lithia Chair, the first new chairlift in 37 years!
Saturday December 14th, our new chairlift was unveiled to the public at 10:30 am. Mt. Ashland Association’s Board President, Mary Smelcer welcomed guests, donors, board members, and staff as she spoke about the incredible new additions to our mountain, like Lithia Chair, made possible by donations through our Elevate Mt. Ashland campaign!
Blair Moody, a long time Mt. Ashland Association Board Member, spoke on behalf of the Sid and Karen DeBoer Foundation. He touched on their goals of improving the lives of youth in the Rogue Valley and how Lithia Chair aims to do just that with opening up new terrain to help with the progression of novice skiers and snowboarders!
It is with deep gratitude that we thank Sid and Karen DeBoer for the largest donation in Mt. Ashland history and for making Lithia Chair possible!
The red ribbon was cut, the bell was rung and Lithia Chair is now open to the public for the season! 🔔🚡❄️
And to all of those that attended, we hope you enjoyed the ride! Here’s to many more rides up Lithia Chair and laps down Poma! ⛷️🏂
Mt. Ashland is closed today and tomorrow, but we’ll see you on the mountain this Thursday at 9 am!
