★★★★★BenStill had a pile of snow on the top of the hill when I visited May 18th, 2026! Nice hiking trails and biking trails
★★★★★Arena Blanca in Playa del CarmenWhat a fun way to celebrate a February thaw and the melting of ice. This was a perfect place for our multi generational family to enjoy some skiing. The facilities are rustic and authentic and clean; grooming was excellent. It’s obvious that the staff and community cares for Mt Ashwabay. We’ll be back!
★★★Lily VonderlageWas a fine ski center as a beginner, however, the lady who helped renters put on ski boots and their skis was quite rude and impatient with me, despite being very friendly to my friends (who were white). One of the friends who was present during my interaction with the lady who worked there was taken aback by how rude she was to me. I hope if anyone who works at the Mt. Ashwabay Ski Area who may read this hopefully prospers a more mindful and inclusive community.
★★★★★Lisa JanowiecWe snowshoed one day and came back the next day to ski and ride. Perfect place for young skiers to learn with a very helpful staff to assist with equipment rentals. We're definitely coming back!
★★★★★Ben SpaderThe fact that they support young children getting lift tickets and rentals for free makes me want to go to this place all the time. I plan to take my kids to this hill and they will learn how to snowboard and grow up going to this hill the hour drive to get to it is so worth it.
