Mini Mites
Ages 3 - 6 years
The Saturday and Sunday Mini Mite Alpine programs are currently full. There is still limited space available in the Mini Mite Snowboard programs.
Register by October 31, 2017 and SAVE!
Our Mini Mites offers your child 8 days of our award-winning Discovery Dynamos camp program (3-4 year olds) or Trail Blazers (5-6 year olds) on either Saturdays or Sundays. Our specially trained instructors encourage skiing or snowboarding development for all abilities and build confidence through innovative teaching techniques.
We've teamed with Vermont's Burton Snowboards to develop the next generation of the Burton Riglet Park, an on-snow play area with fun terrain features designed for introducing young children to snowboarding. The parks focal point is a treehouse, an elevated platform with ramps that children can ride down, a balance area inside the treehouse and a lift chair that swings to help kids practice getting on and off the lift. Playing in the park on small rolling hills, miniature box-style rails, pyramids and a mini-halfpipe allows children to gain the necessary balance and muscle memory to begin sliding and making turns on sloped terrain.
Each day the program starts at 9:00 am in the Meeting House, includes lunch, and runs until 4:00 pm, with an indoor entertainment program offered during the last two hours of the day.

Women's Clinics
Saturday or Sunday
The ultimate personalized coaching experience. This 6-week program is designed to allow you to gain confidence and build a rapport with the same coach each week while enjoying a fun, supportive, small-group environment. Led by expert female coaches focused on offering fun and confidence-boosting sessions with plenty of skiing and riding tips, tricks and terrain tactics that address the differences of how women move on snow. If you are a Mitey or Mini Mite Mom, we designed these programs so you can drop off your kids and then join your own group for a day on the slopes. Beginning skier/riders (Levels 1-4) meet at the Village Gazebo and spend their day exploring the variety of terrain on Morse Mountain while Intermediate and Advanced skiers/riders (Levels 5-9) meet on the Green Peppers Deck at the Madonna/Sterling Base Lodge. At day's end, each program heads down hill to enjoy a complimentary après lesson cocktail. If you have children in our Mitey Mites program we can bring them to the Meeting House for the afternoon Snow Sport University Entertainment so that you can stay to enjoy the après lesson cocktail. Pick up is by 4:00 pm. Please make sure your child's instructor is informed that you will be picking up at the Meeting House at 4:00 pm.
All Women's Programs include:
• Small group size (space is limited)
• A social environment for all ability levels, ages 18+
• Delicious meals
• 50% discount on Children's SSU Camps and slopeside childcare at TREASURES nursery

Smugglers' Notch 55+ Club
For seniors on the hill, not over the hill!
The Smugglers 55+ Club is for seniors who like to ski (alpine or nordic), snowboard, snowshoe, and enjoy being with their peers. Non-skiers are welcome, too. Our goal is simple: get out of the four walls, break the daily routine, meet people and be active.
We gather every Wednesday at 9:00 am, starting November 29, 2017, in the Village Lodge for socializing and refreshments followed at 9:30 am with a short meeting. We will enjoy outdoor activities such as snowshoeing, Nordic or Alpine skiing and snowboarding. Skiing in the morning depends on the weather, snow, and trail conditions. One may join a skill level group or ski/snowboard on your own.
We then have an afternoon program beginning at 1:00 pm unless otherwise announced during the morning meeting.
Every Wednesday we will be SKIING IN THE MORNING.
Meetings: 9:00 am on Wednesdays at the Village Lodge starting the first Wednesday after Thanksgiving.
Membership: $30/year (Your first meeting is complimentary - come and check us out!)
You can register for any of these programs on our Season Passes & Bash Badges page, or call the Ski & Ride Division at 1-800-523-2754.
