With 78 trails to choose from, reliable snow thanks to an impressive snowmaking system and pretty tree-lined slopes,

Smugglers’ Notch is a reliable choice for your East Coast ski holiday.

Morse Mountain has one of the best beginner areas in the USA, boasting gentle learning slopes right through to longer, winding greens. Madonna and Stirling Mountains are bigger, steeper and offer up great variety, with everything from long, cruisey blues to steep double (and even triple) diamond blacks.

The purpose-built resort ensure maximum convenience and offers up a good choice of accommodation, restaurants and off slope activities. It is located just up the road from the resort of Stowe, making it a good destination for a multi- resort trip. Fly to the small airport of Burlington for the quickest access, with alternatives (just note there’ll be a long drive) being Montreal or Boston.

Snow Overview

USA

Updated 17/02

The Left Coast finally gets some good snowfall this week as an atmospheric river – a narrow, dense flow of low pressure – channels precipitation over the Western USA. The PNW will see cool temperatures and a useful freshener of snowfall over Tuesday and Wednesday, as totals increase the further south you move; the Sierras will see around 50cm of snowfall over Tuesday alone, tailing off into Wednesday as temperatures remain cold. This low pressure will then make its way over the Frontier and Teton ranges, bringing steady snowfall across Wednesday and Thursday helping (finally) build a snowpack!

Sun breaks through as the weekend arrives, helping increase the temperatures from bitterly cold to just cold. Things then remain dry.

Over the Ice Coast, temperatures gradually drop over the course of this week as flurries of snowfall sweep the region. Nice snow is then coming on Friday with around 20cm down, before temperatures drop into the weekend as cloud clears to give fine and dry nights.
