Smuggler's Notch
Vermonster reviewed March 8, 2010 at 6:09 am
I only skiied the Madonna and Sterling mountains. Morse mountain is a beginners area that is separate from the Madonna/Sterling base. There are no Greens anywhere on Madonna or Sterling. Most of the blues were groomed and all the blacks were ungroomed. The double diamonds were very steep, bumby with lots of exposed rocks, small cliffs to jump off. I only saw two people the whole day try double diamond Liftline as it was a obstacle course of rock. There is lots of good tree skiing as the glades were well covered. There was no halfpipe when I was there even though there is trail called Superpipe. The terrain park "Zone" was relatively small. The walk from the parking lot is steep uphill. The biggest negative is the lifts. There is only only double chair going at a medium speed to  the top each mountain. On a Sunday lift waits were 15+ minutes (no singles line either) and I think the chair lift was also about 15 minutes. The benefit from these lifts is very low skiier density and good snow quality all day. My favorite run was the Doc Dempsey glades.

The family resort
kelly001 reviewed February 27, 2009 at 8:04 am

This is one of those family resorts.  A great place to have your kids learn to ski and their terrain is often overlooked imo.  If you like Burke or Bolton, give them a try.
