⁠Smugglers’ Notch is rich in history. It got i

⁠Smugglers’ Notch is rich in history. It got its name because smugglers used the rugged path through the mountains to move supplies to and from Canada during the War of 1812. During the time Thomas Jefferson was president, America didn’t want to trade with England so most of the trade was done with Canada.⁠
⁠
A “notch” is a way through the mountain. The boulders provided a good place to hide. In fact, people still search the caves for treasure. Over the years, the narrow footpath turned into a wagon road and finally opened to automobiles with the completion of a highway in 1921.⁠
⁠
The mountain pass is closed during the winter. Keep this in mind when you are using GPS, because it kept wanting to send us through the notch. To get to Smuggs during the winter, you have to drive around the mountain.⁠

⁠Smugglers’ Notch is the most family-friendly

⁠Smugglers’ Notch is the most family-friendly ski resort I have ever been to. It seems like this undiscovered gem in the mountains. Every employee we dealt with there was so kind, that my son actually asked me “Are people here really nice because we are close to the Canadian boarder?” It was so funny, because he was completely serious. There were so many fun activities to do at all times. We made memories to last a lifetime and are already planning to return this summer.⁠

I love a resort with a back up plan. In New Englan

I love a resort with a back up plan. In New England, the weather is far from predictable. It started raining half way through our first day. At most places, you would just be out of luck and have to go sit in your hotel room. But at Smuggs, there is a 26,000 square-foot indoor playground!⁠
⁠
There is an indoor pool and hot tub beside the Fun Zone. We preferred the aquatic center which was in the North Hill Community where we were staying. We pretty much had the whole place to ourselves. The different is that there was no life guard in the aquatic center.⁠

There are always various activities and events going on at Smuggs. There was a winter carnival going on when we arrived. The kids played games and won prizes. They handed out popcorn, sugar on snow and free samples from the Smugglers’ Notch Distillery. Over the weekend, we tried glow tubing, camp fire warm-ups, and the kid’s favorite- family feud game night.⁠

We are still on a high from our trip to Smugglers’ Notch. We checked into our condo and that in itself was so exciting. I think I had a low expectation of a ski condo and a pictured drab mis-matched furniture set up. Our condo at the Kestrels couldn’t have been further from that. This condo is in the newly built North Hill Community. We had this spacious light-filled three bedroom until with a huge kitchen, living room and fireplace. ⁠

When my kindergartner walked in, she looked up at me and said “Mommy, this place is a 10 out of 10.”⁠
