### 1/5 — Not accurate

*2026-03-07, version 17.1.2*

Snow trails status is oftentimes not accurate re grooming etc

### 5/5 — Smuggs is the best place to ski!

*2026-02-28*

I learned to ski at Smuggs in my early 40’s. I wanted my kids to learn to ski and it was something I wanted to do with them. Learning to ski at Smuggs was one of the best things I ever did for my kids and myself. Smuggs lets kids be kids (young and old alike). The people are down to earth…no snobs…and what a great way to build memories as a family!

### 3/5 — Not consistent this year.

*2026-01-25*

The trail report is strange this year! It combines the nordic and alpine trails, but says there is a total of 78 trails, there is much more combined. Why do you keep indicating you are blowing snow on nordic trails?! There is clearly no snowmaking infastructure at all on your nordic trails. Will Buds Run ever be on the snow report? Houghs views often contradicts the app reports. This app used to be more reliable.

### 5/5 — Smuggs app

*2025-12-31, version 17.0.2*

Fantastic!  Nothing like it

### 3/5 — So much potential

*2025-12-26*

So much potential with the app. More frequent updates to trails and lifts to make it more useful. Navigation is a little difficult. Timely updates to trail and lift data would be a huge improvement.

### 5/5 — Smuggs App Is Great

Smuggs app is easy to navigate, always provides latest updates, and can save you in countless ways!
