Smuggs is Keepin' It Fresh this Winter!

Smuggs is dedicated to the environment, and you can help!

From the top of Northern Vermont's highest vertical drop to the ECHO Lake Aquarium and Science Center on the shores of Lake Champlain, every skier and rider is invited to share our vision of keeping Vermont fresh! Smuggs has been dedicated to the environment for years, and now we invite you to join us in pursuing our goal of fresh air, fresh water, fresh snow and fresh tracks.

When you purchase your Pass or Badge this Winter, you'll automatically be participating in our Keepin' It Fresh efforts. We're all in this together, and we want to make it easy for you to make a difference.

You can learn about Smuggs many environmental initiatives, including our designation as a Vermont Business Environmental Leader on our: Environment Page.

NEW for this Winter: Our SkiCool program is now included for all Pass & Badge holders. Through our partnership with Native Energy, a portion of every Pass & Badge sale will offset the CO2 emissions from skiing operations by funding the development of a renewable methane energy source right here in Vermont. By offsetting these emissions, we are offering a 100% climate neutral skiing experience for Pass & Badge holders. For more information, or to learn how you can further help to fight global warming by offsetting your travel to and from the resort, visit the Native Energy website.

Expanded Free Weekend & Holiday Transportation: Every time you take advantage of our free bus transportation to and from Smuggs, you're helping to fight global warming. By leaving the driving to us, you're not creating the CO2 emissions that you would generate by driving here in your own vehicle. It's not just convenient, but it's also good for the environment.

In addition to our Burlington and Essex shuttle, this Winter we're introducing a St. Albans and Fairfax route along with a Morrisville and Johnson route.

Specific dates, times and locations will be posted soon on the Free Bus Schedule page

New RideShare website! Another way that you can reduce your contributions to global warming is to carpool to and from the resort. We'll help to make it easy for you to offer rides, and to find a ride from your area. Click here to visit our new website where you can post an offer for a ride, and where you can post that you're looking for a ride. Not only will you help the environment, but you'll meet new skiers and riders too!
