Uphill Access

3 Mountain Logo

As per Smuggs uphill policy, starting Friday, January 10th, morning uphill on Sterling will be available from 5:30 am to 7:30 am daily and on Morse in the evenings Friday through Wednesday. Users must check the Snow Report before they go! There will be days when Sterling closes in the morning due to grooming needs. Morse is likely to close again for a period when snowmaking activity resumes there. Madonna is currently closed due to a combination of snowmaking, grooming activity, and lack of terrain.

Evening access on Madonna and Sterling will open once more terrain becomes available. The uphill route on Sterling is the Rumrunner trail only. Downhill routes can be any open trail. Please review the Uphill Access rules on the Smuggs website. Thank you for your cooperation.
