I've normally had a good experience at Mt Ashwabay but today it was't so good. I checked the prices…read moreon the website and saw that it was $18 from 1:00 to 4:00 so that is when I planned to go, because I didn't have much time anyway. As it was I got there a little after 2:00 and was eager to get out on the slopes. When I got my ticket I was charged $25 and when I questioned it I was told that the $18 rate didn't start until 3:00 and I would have to speak to the manager, John (I think it was). I tried to find him and in the end they had to radio for him. Finally he showed up and said they would charge me $18 but he didn't seem too happy about it and didn't apologize about the website being incorrect. I said "well it did say it was $18 at 1:00 on the website". He said something like "well I'm giving you the $18 rate aren't are." He wasn't apologetic and seemed really unhappy that he had given me the lower rate. I don't think this is good customer service. I love to come up to Bayfield for the weekend because there are a lot of cool things to do so we try to cram a lot in. This makes time tight. Next time I may skip Mt Ashwabay and go somewhere else instead.

Scott took my 6 yo nephew and another boy from the group and patiently coached them enough to take the chair lifts up to the easiest green slope successfully. I felt like Scott knew exactly what he was doing the whole time. Steve & Tim were also very good and helpful with the older kids. After ski school, we went on the slopes but stuck to the easy greens & played on the tubing hill. It was a blast! Afterwards, hit the bar for some hot chocolate & beer. What a great first time experience! I can't wait to come back for the other slopes & cross country skiing!
