Ashland, Oregon — After adding a new chairlift last winter, Mt. Ashland is adding a new trail to support it.
This week, Mt. Ashland Ski Area showcased the progress made so far on clearing a new trail in the Lithia terrain zone. The Lithia Chair, which opened last winter, is a fixed-grip triple chairlift. The Bumblebee trail is designed to provide novice skiers and riders with an alternative route down the Lithia chair that is flowy. It will also reduce congestion on the other trails that are serviced by the Lithia Chair. This trail was referenced on Ashland’s trail map as a proposed run that was coming during the 2025-26 season.
It’s going to be a busy next few years at Mt. Ashland. This spring, the Oregon ski area announced that it’s planning to replace the Ariel and Windsor lifts with two fixed-grip triple chairlifts. Add in the changes over at Lithia, and there’s a lot to look forward to for all ability levels in Mt. Ashland’s future.
