Max at the top of the Village Lift with Madonna Mountain in the background

I like you to meet Max. Max and his family are from Connecticut. Max took a break from skiing for a few years, but is now back at it! Max was telling me how much the ski technology has changed since he use to ski a great deal. Max, his wife, and all three of his girls took lessons today. Max said the lesson made a big difference for him. He has been having a great time exploring all the intermediate trails here at Smuggs. Max said that he will be back to Smuggs with his family next year! I hope you have a wonderful vacation Max and we look forward to your return next season!
