Mountain Statistics & Lift Operation Hours

3 Interconnected Mountains of Terrain for Every Ability!

Maybe it's the spectacular scenery... or the remarkable range of trails from novice to expert, or the diversity of terrain from steeps to glades to cruisers. Whatever the reason, skiers and riders come back year after year to take the challenge.

The 2010 SKI magazine reader survey voted Smugglers' one of the TOP 10 in The East for terrain challenge and terrain variety!
Terrain for every ability!

• 3 Big Interconnected Mountains - Madonna, Sterling & Morse (including Morse Highlands) - all 3 mountains are interconnected by lifts and trails for your convenience.

• Over 1,000 acres of terrain including trails and wooded glades, from gentle novice slopes to groomed cruisers, bump runs, steeps, terrain parks, and race courses.

• 2,610 foot vertical rise - Among the biggest in the East.

• 78 Fabulous Trails - Over 27 miles of fun with a variety of learning terrain (19%) primarily on Morse, intermediate trails and glades (50%) on all three mountains and expert runs on Madonna and Sterling (31%) that challenge the best including: The Fab Five - Five of the most pulse-pounding Black Diamonds in the East and The Black Hole - The only Triple Black Diamond in the East!

• 58 km of cross-country and snowshoe trails - Our Nordic Center features 34 km of cross-country trails and 24 km of dedicated snowshoe trails through woods and fields.

• Average annual snowfall of 24 feet - Mother Nature loves to dump snow on Smuggs!
