Smugglers’ Notch, or “Smuggs,” as it’s affectionately referred to, is like that lifelong friend from your youth that you share fond memories with. You may seldom see them, but when you do—it’s a whopping good time!

Set on three mountains in a state forest backdropped by Mt. Mansfield, Vermont’s tallest peak, it is the perennial favorite amongst East Coast skiers. It took top prize in Ski Magazine’s most recent annual resort ranking survey in 2021, also ranking number one in 2019, and taking the silver in 2020.
