Please read the following programming descriptions carefully.

Due to low demand, group lessons are discontinued for the remainder of the season. Private lessons, First Timer Packages, and Night School are available February 22 - April 4, 2021.

All participants and instructors will be required to wear masks when closer than 6 feet. Guests will be able to ride the lifts with their travel group only. When in a lesson if no one from their travel group is present they will ride the chairlift by themselves. Adults can ride the lift with their children while their child is in a lesson, if needed. All participants in Snow Sport University programs will be required to adhere to the Vermont State Travel Guidelines. Participants are also required to fill out a release form online at smuggs.com/ssuattestation
