Ski Lifts in Smugglers Notch

Smugglers Notch Ski Lifts & Passes

Smugglers’ has eight lifts: six double chairs and two surface lifts, with a total uphill capacity of 7,053 people per hour.

Lines are rare, although the main beginner lifts on Morse Mountain can become congested on busy weekends. There is an alternative lift to use on the nearby Morse Highlands beginner/ intermediate area.

The lift system is undeniably slow-reminiscent of skiing twenty years ago-but the base to summit Madonna I double chair lift has recently been reconditioned to reduce the chances of wind closure, which had been a frequent problem on this ridgeline route.

The Village Lift, Madonna I, and the Sterling Lift open at 8:00 am on the weekend; all other lifts open at 9:00 am. On weekdays, all lifts open at 8:30 am except for the Mogul Mouse Magic Lift and the Handle Tow, which open at 9 am. All lifts close at 4:00 pm.
