Monday, President's Day, 10:00 AM. 19 degrees F at the ferry dock, 18 on the back porch. Wind WSW, calm with light to moderate gusts. The sky is overcast and cloudy, the humidity 83%. The barometer is mostly steady at 29.83". Except for the absence of sunshine, it is a nice winter day
I stopped by Mount Ashwabay Recreation Area yesterday afternoon to see what was going on. The lvery large park, jointly owned by federal, state, county and a local non-profit organization, has downhill skiing and cross country skiing, hiking and snow shoeing in the winter and is the summer home of the Big Top Chatauqua and Blue Canvas Orchestra. It is also the home of local high school ski teams. It wasn't particularly busy yesterday even though the temperature had moderated into the mid-teens. It is very busy most weekdays with high school ski meets and is a great winter recreation opportunity for the local communities. It is located just west of Hwy 13 about two miles south of Bayfield.
Downhill skis, snow boards, snow shoes and Nordic equipment can all be rented at reasonable rates. They have a very complete web site that details all their prices and rental options. Food and drink are available at a congenial warming hut.
This facility probably does not meet the aspirations of highly experienced skiers, but is great for the beginner and for families.
