Smuggs - No Bull (Video) Snow Report - March 17, 2010 In this week's installment, Nathan and his friend Brook take to Smuggs for some free-heeled, teli-skiing action. After a few gladed runs, they slice their way through the buttery spring corn and supple bumped terrain only the divine Madonna can provide. With just over two weeks left to the season, now's your chance to put a few more days in on the mountain - for bragging rights, of course. What else? Special thanks to Underhill resident and Smuggs Season Pass holder Nathan Steinbauer for this submission.



Smuggs - No Bull (Video) Snow Report - March 7, 2010 Last week, Mother Nature moved us precipitously into a spring-skiing state of mind. But as Nathan attests, and Smuggs Snow Reporter Heather Wry demonstrates, there's still plenty of pow on our three mountains. And the optimism inherent to all snow sport enthusiasts suggests more is on the way! In the meantime, catch a unique birds-eye view of skiers taking a run down Drifter, then follow Heather as she dips into Upper Red Fox Glades and Lower F.I.S. Special thanks to Underhill resident and Smuggs Season Pass holder Nathan Steinbauer for this submission.

Smuggs - No Bull (Video) Snow Report - February 24, 2010 Best day of the year? Each to their own. For Underhill resident and Smuggs Season Pass holder Nathan Steinbauer, Wednesday, February 24th was the day; well, so far anyway. But don't take our word for it, download this video, tear up some virtual powder and make up your mind. With conditions as great as ever, isn't it time you logged your own best day of the year?






Smuggs - No Bull (Video) Snow Report - February 13, 2010 The Gravity Control event series, hosted by Team Smuggs, highlights the best of our terrain parks. Last Saturday, Smuggs hosted the Gravity Control Slopestyle Event in The Zone. A handful of talented local athletes hucked, tucked and wish-fulfilled their way over a myriad of big air elements. Never the type to stay in one place too long, Nathan then takes to some of Smuggs signature glades in his quest for the elusive epic powder stash. With the potential for some serious Winter weather on the way, he won't have to look too hard much longer. Special thanks to Underhill resident and Smuggs Season Pass holder Nathan Steinbauer for this submission.

Smuggs - 9th Annual Northern Vermont Snowshoe Races Last Sunday, Smuggs and TSL Snowshoes presented an exciting day of treks, walks and races on the nordic trails of Smugglers' Notch. There was something for everyone: a 1/2K kids' fun run, a 4K fun run/walk, and an 8K race -- a qualifier for the 2010 US Snowshoe Association National Championship. Special thanks to Underhill resident and Smuggs season pass holder Nathan Steinbauer for this submission.




Smuggs - Snowshoe Adventure Dinner Hosted by Garry the FunMeister, the Snowshoe Adventure Dinner is a dramatic weekly dining feature atop Sterling Mountain. The Sterling lift transports participants to the Top of The Notch, a mountain cabin lit only by candles. The Hearth & Candle Restaurant serves a gourmet meal with appetizer, salad, choice of main course, and a famous dessert. After dinner, work off those calories with a 40 minute snowshoe down to the Base Lodge. Produced and directed by Alex Martin. Additional videography by Nathan Steinbauer.



Smuggs - No Bull (Video) Snow Report - January 30th, 2010 In this week's video, Nathan heads off hill and into the Notch to check out the 4th Annual Smuggs Ice Climbing Festival. He discovers a skilled and passionate band of outdoor enthusiasts expressing their own unique connection to Smuggs wild world of Winter. But even something as electric as ice climbing can only keep this guy off the mountain for so long. Join Nathan for a couple of rides down some of Smuggs banner terrain on Madonna and Sterling. Bet you can't resist penciling in your next ski day!



Smuggs - No Bull (Video) Snow Report - January 23rd, 2010 This past Saturday was jam-packed with the welcome sight of sun and a myriad of athletic mountain events. On the summit of Madonna, Nathan catches up with Star 92.9's Matt Brownell, who is on-site to promote Automaster Customer Appreciation Day. Then on Sterling Mountain, Nathan treats us to coverage of the inter-collegiate Winter Carnival Slalom Race, followed by a bordercross event and the weekly Free Family Fun Race on lower Madonna. It's all in a day's work at Smugglers'. Special thanks to Underhill resident and Smuggs Season Pass holder Nathan Steinbauer for this submission.


Smuggs - No Bull (Video) Snow Report - January 10th, 2010 Some skiers and riders will trek just about anywhere for their favorite powder stash. In their search for just that, Stephanie and Nate head for the glades off Northwest Passage. Lo and behold, they discover Smuggs stuff of legends. Don't worry, thanks to 50" of new snow this January, there's plenty more where that came from! Special thanks to Underhill resident and Smuggs Season Pass holder Nathan Steinbauer for this submission.




Smuggs - No Bull (Video) Snow Report - January 3rd, 2010 Smuggs welcomed no less than two feet of new snow for the new year. Local skiers Nate and Zach take to Madonna for a classic powder day on the mountain. Now that's what I call a New Year's resolution. Special thanks to Underhill resident and Smuggs Season Pass holder Nathan Steinbauer for this submission.






Smuggs - No Bull (Video) Snow Report - December 25, 2009 Talk about a stocking stuffer! In this week's report, Nathan takes to the trails for some Chirstmas Day runs. With 8-10" of new snow this Monday and a Nor'easter on a its' way, this could be a start to a very good new (snow) year! Special thanks to Underhill resident and Smuggs Season Pass holder Nathan Steinbauer for this submission.






Smuggs - No Bull (Video) Snow Report - December 7th, 2009 Last week was a topsy-turvy week in weather, but we'd like to think Ol' Man Winter won the battle in the end. Just check out the powder staches on the Madonna lift line in this video for evidence. Special thanks to Underhill resident and Smuggs' season pass holder Nathan Steinbauer for this submission.






Pre-Season Snow It might not be Winter yet where you live, but it has arrived up here in the Green Mountains! The summits received a healthy dose of snow last weekend, and here's the video to prove it. Special thanks to Underhill resident Nathan Steinbauer for this submission.
