“This was our first time at Smuggs; it was awesome! This was a father-son trip and now we need to bring the whole family. The skiing was excellent from rental to trail conditions. The bunny hill was perfect for our beginner. We had a blast in the Nordic trails and the food we ate was delicious.”

Helpful Hints
Smugglers’ Notch offers two main base areas, each with a lodge. Beginners and intermediate skiers and snowboarders can start their adventure at the base of Morse Mountain, located in the heart of the Village. For those who are more advanced, the base of Sterling & Madonna Mountains provides the perfect launch point for their day on the slopes. If you require rental equipment, be sure to stop in to 3-Mountain Equipment Rental Shop located in the main Village at the base of Morse Mountain.
In both summer and winter, Daycation products can be picked up at the Activities desk, conveniently located in the main Village in the guest registration building.
A Notch Card is required for all ticket and pass purchases. This RFID card can be picked up at the Ski & Ride Desk located in the main guest registration building at the base of Morse Mountain, or at the Madonna/Sterling Ticket Booth.
Once you arrive at the resort, you can park your car and let us handle the driving! We offer an on-demand shuttle service to take care of all your in-resort transportation needs. During the winter months, our Upper Mountain Shuttle is dedicated to transporting skiers and riders between the Welcome Sign in the Village and the upper mountains.
