Notch Squad fun activities for children and teens!
Available December 11, 2009- April 4, 2010Smugglers is a big mountain playground, with lots of opportunities to rip it up on anything from groomed intermediate trails to triple black diamond steeps and glades, as well as terrain parks for all abilities. Our Notch Squad groups don’t stand around and talk about skiing and riding; your time is spent doing it, with coaching from our staff to bring you to the next level. Never skied or snowboarded before? No problem. Our programs will get you started on the right track and have you feeling comfortable skiing or riding our green terrain (and maybe some blues) in a matter of days. With our Full Day Notch Squad camp, you might even be exploring Sterling and Madonna by the end of the week!
