Best for families: Smugglers’ Notch Resort

About an hour’s drive from Burlington, Vermont, Smugglers’ Notch is a great pick for families, with a range of activities designed for children of all ages. Those between the ages of three and 15 can try kid-friendly ski and snowboard lessons or day camps, while babysitting and daycare services are available for little ones under three. A program for teens ages 13 to 19 puts on special events like craft classes, karaoke, and video game nights. And if you’d prefer to take on the slopes together, there’s a healthy mix of beginner (17 percent) and intermediate (53 percent) runs to suit groups at different levels. Read more…
