What's a Segway, you ask? It's a self-balancing personal two-wheeled transportation device, unlike any other you've ever experienced. Segways are being used across the nation for commuting and recreational purposes. At Smugglers', they were introduced to rave reviews mid-season during Summer 2006, with many outings fully subscribed through our vendor, SegRides of Vermont.
For Summer 2010 Smugglers' will offer three opportunities for guests to enjoy the Segways: a training session and tour, an all-terrain outing in the wooded areas surrounding the Resort Village, and rentals from the 3 Mountain Equipment Rental and Outlet Store.
One hour training and tours will be held Monday through Saturday at 9:00 am, 11:00 am, 1:00 pm, 3:00 pm and 5:00 pm. This introductory session costs $45 per person.
Extreme Tours will head off the beaten path to explore the rugged forested terrain around the Resort. 1.5-hour tours will be held Monday through Saturday at 10:00 am, 1:00 pm, and 4:00 pm at a cost of $75 per person.
Guests interested in renting a Segway for use around the Resort may visit the 3 Mountain Equipment Rental. A two-hour rental (available to licensed drivers only) costs $65 per person. First timers must have taken the introductory session. Riders must weigh a minimum of 100 pounds to ride.
The buzz:
"As soon as I wheeled the first Segways out of the garage at the Resort four years ago, people started asking about them. The attention they generate is amazing!" —Bruce Morrissey, SegRides of Vermont
"They're so easy to operate. When you step on, the Segway's internal gyroscopes balance the platform right away and then you're off for a ride!" —Karen Boushie, Public Relations Assistant Director
