Smugglers’ Notch Resort
Smugglers’ Notch—or Smuggs, as everyone calls it—spreads across three peaks in the Green Mountains, with 78 trails and roughly 1,000 acres. It has a longstanding reputation as a family mountain, though that description undersells the skiing. There’s plenty here once the kids have gone inside.
