Brian at the top of the Village Lift

I would like you meet Brian. Brian is here at Smuggs with a couple of his best friends and their families. I rode the Village Lift with Brian today and we had a great conversation on the ride up. He told me that Smuggs is like no other and is the most unpretentious resort that he has ever been to. He went on to say that he really enjoyed Black Snake and all the fun trails that cut off from it. I hope you and your group have a wonderful time here at Smuggs!

Mark having fun on Smugglers’ Alley

Once again the forecast called for partly to mostly cloudy skies and the sun decided to take over. It was truly a gorgeous day with great conditions and comfortable temperatures. The Smuggs Friendly Freeride Competition was a blast to watch. It was snowboarders and skiers taking on Madonna Liftline from mid-station down. This section has a bunch of cool features and a mean double fall line!
