Name of XC Area: Smuggler's Notch Ski Area Times that I have skied there: Several times I last skied there in: Feb, 2004 Trails that I skied: Most of them My favorite trails: All of them (Don't remember the names) Trail marking: Very good Trail grooming: Very good Rating: 4 stars What I liked: The trails are very scenic and well groomed. Most are for beginner to intermediate so there is something for every family member. What I disliked: They need to develop more trails. Comments: Smuggs has been rated the #1 Family resort in America by Ski Magizine, Ladies Home Journal and other publications and as a time-share owner, I would certainly agree. They have everything anyone could ever want in Snow Country and a fantastic childrens' program as well. Submitted by: Ezra Burgess from: Picture Rocks, Pa. Date submitted: Nov 15, 2004
