General Information

Welcome to Book Across The Bay Chapter 28!

Saturday, February 15th, 2025

Many thanks to the City of Ashland for taking on the Race Day Festivities and Post Race Party! This partnership allows the BATB Organizers to ensure the long-term well being of our funky little ski race! BATB is still a 503c Non-Profit organization and owns and operates the race itself including registration and all on-ice activities. This is a large undertaking for a strictly volunteer organization. We’re proud to partner with Ashland City so we can focus our efforts and work groups on making a wonderful on-course experience for many years to come!

What We Do

Book Across the Bay is the upper Midwest's most unique winter event, open to skiers and snowshoers of all ages and ability levels. The 10-kilometer course, which is groomed for both classic-style and skate skiing, follows a route not on land, but over the frozen surface of Lake Superior, the world's largest lake. The event is held at night, and the course is lit by the stars above and up to 1,000 candles in ice luminaries that line the entire route.
