Draft:Mt. Ashwabay Ski Resort

Submission declined on 28 April 2024 by Johannes Maximilian (talk).

This submission does not appear to be written in the formal tone expected of an encyclopedia article. Entries should be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources. Please rewrite your submission in a more encyclopedic format. Please make sure to avoid peacock terms that promote the subject.

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

in-depth (not just brief mentions about the subject or routine announcements)
reliable
secondary
strictly independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet all four of these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you have not resolved the issues listed above, your draft will be declined again and potentially deleted.
If you need extra help, please ask us a question at the AfC Help Desk or get live help from experienced editors.
Please do not remove reviewer comments or this notice until the submission is accepted.

This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

Comment: We need to see what completely independent secondary sources have said about this, not what the resort itself wants to say. DoubleGrazing (talk) 07:04, 27 April 2024 (UTC)

Mt. Ashwabay Ski and Recreation Area is a recreational complex near Bayfield, Wisconsin. The place offers 65 acres of downhill skiing as well as 40 km of cross country skiing. The complex is notable for hosting Big Top Chautauqua. Mt. Ashwabay also has several on site amenities.^[1] ^[2] ^[3]

History[edit]

Mt. Ashwabay was founded in 1948. It was named Mt. Ashwabay because it served the Ashland, Bayfield, and Washburn areas. Originally an alpine slope, it added Nordic trails in the 1970s. In 2002, the business became a non-profit organization. Today Mt. Ashwabay has expanded to become a year round destination, offering concerts and mountain biking in the summer. Added activities include winter fat tire biking, hiking, skijoring, snowshoeing, and more.^[4] ^[5] ^[6] ^[7]
