Smuggs is a classic family hit for Vermont skiing. With some of the best views from the mountain and some of the best trees to ski in the state its clear to see why. Whether youre a beginner level skier starting at Morse mountain or youre shredding trees off Madonna, smuggs has the terrain for you.

Great Mommy and Daddy ski program for beginner skiers or snowboarders. Ski with the same kids and families all season. Four hour lessons. Same instructor all season. Instructor teaches. Parents ski behind the group. Best money Ive ever spent. Kids listen to instructors. No headaches and heartbreak between parents and child. Kids made great progress, gained skills and were skiing blues towards the end of lessons. Well done program.

Tried out Smugglers for the first time last year and was absolutely blown away. Truly incredible terrain and the staff are extremely friendly. The only thing slightly lacking was aprés and on property dining options. On the whole, absolutely nothing like Smugglers Notch, truly one of a kind!

Smuggs has been my home mtn since I was 2. 31 years later the stoke is a real as ever! Absolutely the best all around mtn in VT from beginner to expert. The woods skiing and out of bounds terrain is unbeatable!
