The little things. When it comes to delivering a kid-friendly vacation, the little things often yield big memories. Gathering your family to savor cups of hot chocolate around the bonfire, sharing an exhilarating run down the mountain, or marveling together during the evening torchlight parade and fireworks ... those are a few of the little things that families love about their Smugglers’ Notch vacation. Smugglers’ was voted the #1 Kid-Friendly Resort in the East by the readers of SKI Magazine … proof that we get the little things right for your entire family, from the quality of child care, to the children’s ski and snowboard school, to on-mountain amenities and family entertainment. Add mountainside accommodations, skiing and riding for every experience level from beginner to expert, innovative skiing and snowboarding programs for ages 2½ years and older, evening family entertainment, and a host of off-slope activities, such as The FunZone, teen centers, indoor pool and hot tubs that take full advantage of our pristine mountain setting. From the ArborTrek Zip Line Canopy Tour to snowshoe nature treks, there’s so much going on that everyone can fill their days with experiences that thrill, intrigue, educate, or relax. From the moment you begin your planning to the moment your family says farewell to Smugglers’, our dedicated staff is devoted to delivering the Winter family vacation experience of a lifetime. That’s why we’ve been voted #1 Overall Resort in the Eastern U.S. by the readers of SKI Magazine!

Our Mountains Our three big, interconnected mountains deliver over 1,000 acres of all-terrain access that serve up a vacation your family will never forget. When we were kids, we all loved to explore and discover new experiences or find that special spot. Our three mountains provide you and your kids the time to enjoy our Winter playground of 78 trails, acres of glades, and six terrain parks to explore. With over 300 inches of natural snowfall annually and state-of-the-art snowmaking, you’ll be guaranteed family fun this Winter. And the dream of “something for everyone” is a reality every day across our three mountains ... from the gentle, wide-open cruisers of Morse Mountain where early turns are linked to the groomed trails and everyone feels like a pro, all the way up — literally — to the steep and narrow twists of the East’s only triple black diamond, the “Black Hole,” where skiing and riding legends are made.

Let it snow! This year we’ve added an additional 156 high-efficiency snowguns, bringing our total to 400 covering all of our mountains — making good on our commitment to having 100% high-efficiency snowguns across all three mountains. This type of snowgun produces faster overall terrain coverage, delivers quick and focused trail touch-ups when needed, and requires less energy usage furthering our commitment to environmental stewardship. These enhancements combined with our annual average snowfall of 300 inches means more reliable surface conditions. “The new HDK tower snowguns installed at Smuggs this past season resulted in consistent snow coverage and quality.”
— SKI Magazine Reader Survey Comment
Setting the standard for environmental stewardship. As the only resort to be named a Vermont Business Environmental Leader, Smugglers’ dedication to a cleaner, greener environment shows in everything we do, from our commitment to high-efficiency snowguns to our extensive land and energy conservation programs. Our efforts are designed to preserve the intrinsic beauty of Vermont, so families like yours can cherish this special place today and for generations to come. Our 150kW solar trackers are another addition to our conservation efforts, supplying enough energy to power most of the resort’s Village Lodge.

THIS IS NOT YOUR ORDINARY RESORT! A prime example of the Smugglers’ difference is our teaching philosophy in Snow Sport University (SSU). We connect you and your family to the mountains through safety, fun and learning. So whether you’re new to snow sports or you’re ready to explore more challenging terrain, Snow Sport University’s experienced guides will help you develop the skills and confidence to meet your goals. And kids get the special attention they deserve from our SSU staff! We are the only Resort that has specially designed kid-friendly programs that divide age groups by small increments, based on the learning capacity and developmental stages of children — with fun at the heart of every program, lesson, interaction and activity. For the advanced skiers and riders in your family, our guides can introduce them to the thrill and excitement of discovering new and hidden terrain, opening up a world of on-and-off-trail adventures they may never discover on their own. Our SSU staff personally makes sure your entire family, from toddlers to adults, beginners to experts, have the best possible on-mountain experience and end each session with more skill and knowledge as they progress throughout the week. Guests with special needs can also enjoy an alpine experience with our Smugglers’ Notch Adaptive Programs (SNAP) for skiing and riding. All of our all-day children’s programs, ages 3-15, use FlaikTM GPS, as a way to capture their on-mountain fun by tracking their miles, vertical feet, and trails skied each day. FOR MORE DETAILS ON OUR PROGRAMS, GO TO SMUGGS.COM/SSU
Our million-dollar fully-licensed child care center for infants and toddlers TREASURES is another example of our single-minded approach to provide exceptional, kid-friendly family vacations. This wonderland is specially designed for infants and toddlers ages 6 weeks to 3 years. TREASURES includes 5,400 square feet of indoor space, with three sunny playrooms, a multitude of age-appropriate toys, tiny toilets and small sinks, giant fish tanks in every room, one-way-mirror viewing and easy drop-off and pickup for parents. The TREASURES staff is trained in first aid, CPR, child development and behavior management — including many Early Childhood Teachers and Special Education Specialists. Our child-to-caregiver ratio assures full attention and the best possible care. Entertaining your kids comes naturally to us! For your convenience, TREASURES is open daily, and includes lunch. The staff is happy to arrange a private caregiver for evening hours in your vacation home. “...the staff was warm, caring, attentive, and made sure our youngest had as much fun with his day as we did on the slopes.” — Smugglers’ Notch Resort Guest

Burton Riglet Park for ages 3-6 Little rippers as young as 3 years old can learn to snowboard at our one-of-a-kind, kid-friendly Burton Riglet Park.

Young snowboarders ages 3 to 6 years old who are registered in our Discovery Dynamos or Trail Blazers programs get access to Riglet Park. Or we offer a 2-hour session in Riglet Park with our dedicated coaches.
Smugglers’ Notch Adaptive Program The Smugglers’ Notch Adaptive Program (SNAP) provides therapeutic recreation for children and adults of all abilities, with experiences tailored to meet the needs and goals of each individual.

Mountain skills with excitement for ages 11-15 Notch Squad is all about letting kids experience and explore the mountain firsthand with kids their own age.

Not only will their skills expand and improve, but kids also learn the tips and tricks to being responsible guests of the mountain. Whether your child joins a 2-hour session or the all-day program, excitement, fun and achievement awaits as they reach their mountain goals! All-day program includes lunch. “Friendly, fun atmosphere — all our 4 kids (11, 11, 14 & 14) ... improved immensely with their SSU lessons. Great instructors.” — Smugglers’ Notch Resort Guest
Tailored experiences with thrills for ages 16–20 Our Mountain Explorers program is unlike any other that SSU offers. To ensure pure fun this program is typically led by our younger professional coaches in 2-hour sessions. As a group they choose what they’d like to learn and which trails they’d like to conquer. Beginners progress quickly using our sculpted learning terrain, while intermediates and experts get more time in our terrain parks and glades. “My family and I were complete beginners.
