After a relatively uneventful and simple drive we arrived near Smuggler's Notch in Northwestern Vermont. We stopped at the nearest local metropolis - Jeffersonville, population 557 - to buy some groceries at the local general store, and headed up the Smugglers' Notch Pass to the resort.
Smuggs is a large resort area, with accommodation mostly spread over one mountain, 
but with 3 mountains of ski runs (as well as snowshoe and cross-county ski routes) available for downhill skiiing. We arrived early enough that we were able to have a look around, and check into the child care facility where we will be leaving 
our youngest while the rest of us have our age-appropriate ski-lessons. We ate pizza at the village pizzaria, then got fitted for ski boots, skis and helmets. All done, we hailed one of the busy shuttle buses that buzz around the resort all day and night (it is a bit too large to walk everywhere) and headed to our condo.We sure got a nice one - 3 bedroom, 2 bath, huge living dining room with kitchen - it is literally bigger than our house in square footage! An impressive start! I got to see quite a few other buildings and room types on Monday afternoon, and they run the gamut from simple studio apartments, to large elegant ones like ours.
