They did another amazing job last night. I would have my trail pick of the day was Snake Bite. The smooth, steep pitch was just glorious today! Today was great and tomorrow will be similar. Tomorrow we plan to have the Sterling Lift operating with 18 trails open. We have expert and intermediate terrain at this time. 11 trails will be groomed for tomorrow, including Smugglers&#8217; Alley, Snake Bite, Thomke&#8217;s, and Practice Slope for a total of 51 acres of freshly groomed terrain. Surface conditions are machine groomed and variable with average base depths of 12 to 52 inches. Currenty, it is sunny and 32 degrees at the summit of Sterling. Tomorrow&#8217;s forecast is mostly sunny skies, breezy, with a high of 53 degrees at the base and 49 degrees at higher elevations. Sounds like the return of spring conditions. Last day of the season is this Sunday, April 12th. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"767\" src=\"http:\/\/thefuzzybutts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/rumrunner-2-1024x767-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-267678\" style=\"width:1154px;height:auto\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Top of Black Snake<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"763\" src=\"http:\/\/thefuzzybutts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/snake-bite-2-1024x763-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-267679\" style=\"width:1154px;height:auto\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Snake Bite<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.smuggs.com\/views-from-the-notch\/great-conditions-4\/\">Great conditions<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.smuggs.com\">Smugglers\u2019 Notch Resort Vermont<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I want to give our groomers a big shout-out!
