The Mt Ashland ski area is nestled at 7,500 feet in the magnificent Siskiyou Mountain range of southern Oregon.

The facility operates daily from Thanksgiving to mid April. Mother nature is generous here, giving an average snow base of 110 inches.

While there is plenty of snow for powder hounds on alpine skis or snowboards, the unique climate offers plenty of sunny days all winter long.

The ski area offers 23 trails in addition to chute skiing in a glacial cirque, called the Bowl. All trails are easily accessible by four chairlifts.

A gentle just-for-beginner section, complete with its own triple chairlift, is located close to the lodge where family and friends can watch and offer encouragement.

Miles of cross-country skiing are available on the southside of Mt Ashland.

Mt Ashland also offers night skiing on Thursdays, Fridays, with three chairlifts serving 10 lit runs.

The Ski School staff will help you discover the fun of skiing from beginner to expert, child through senior.

If you don't own equipment, there is a full-service rental shop, featuring a state of the art ski rental system. Certified technicians will match skier and equipment or can swiftly put your skis back in top form.

The Granite Cove retail shop offers alpine and snowboard accessories, including helmets, to complete your outfit for a fashionable look.
