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. ### 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. ### 4/5 — gps improved, but data missing *2025-02-24* a useful app. the gps for runs completed is way better after the recent update. but the recent update still doesn't show recent snowfall. the app shows has a field for recent snowfall data, but the field is always empty. this really needs to be fixed - it is probably the single most important piece of info a skier or snowboarder wants. UPDATE: the app shows recent snowfall data. excellent. i will be using the app now. thank you! ### 2/5 — This app has serious holes *2025-02-16* New snow hasn’t been properly displayed all season, there’s no info on 48 hour or 7 day snowfall. Weather forecast on the snow report is wildly inaccurate more often than not. I genuinely don’t know why you would make an app that is so much worse than your website. Please just have the same info from your website available on the app. The current status is pathetic - 6 year Smuggs local ### 4/5 — Suggestion *2025-01-21* Love the app and the tracking. Would love to see an option to check off or mark all trails that I’ve done. ### 5/5 — Best skiing in the east!!! *2025-01-10, version 16.1* Love this place. Great lines and trees. Super place to bring the family or buddies. ### 3/5 — Payment Upgrade *2025-01-05* This app needs an overhaul. Loading the notch card is overly complicated. Would be nice to be able to save personal and payment info instead of always re-entering. ### 5/5 — Smuggs iPhone app *2025-01-01, version 16.1* This is a useful app that helps me purchase my ski tickets in advance. ### 5/5 — App. *2024-12-24, version 16.1* Great App. ### 5/5 — Smuggs app *2024-12-14* Fantastic! Nothing like it ### 5/5 — Smuggs *2024-12-06* I have been going to Smuggs for 10 years and every year has been amazing first time going was when I was 2 and is perfect for young and older family’s ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not accurate *2026-03-07, version 17.1.2* Snow trails status is oftentimes not accurate re grooming etc ### 1/5 — Jake *2025-02-15, version 16.1.4* Snow report never updated, and tracking inconsistent ### 1/5 — Review of app *2025-02-13, version 16.1.4* Snow report and weather needs to be consistent. This can be automated. ### 1/5 — Sad *2025-02-06, version 16.1.4* This app is as dysfunctional as the ski area it supports. The updates are rarely accurate, the cams are horrible when they are actually on and the snow report link is garbage. Sell the resort to someone that cares. Jay is a great example. Model after them ### 1/5 — Needs Improvement! *2025-01-21, version 6.1.3* Glad to see the season total is “1.7e+02” What measuring system is that? I’m also psyched to see you are making snow on the Wire Road. Thats great that we have nordic snowmaking. Haha ### 1/5 — Needs Improvement! *2024-12-23* The new app calls Upper Morse Mtn a Tripple Black Diamond! What a joke, that trail is not even close to the same league as a tripple black! Most of Upper Morse Liftline has been roped off for over a decade. Update your map, most of that trail no longer even opens! ### 1/5 — Incomplete *2024-12-15, version 16.0* The menus in the app should at least be up to date ### 1/5 — No Useful Information This Year, grrrr! *2024-12-12* This app and the old Smuggs website used to be great! This App forgot to mention when opening day was, and it would have been great to know opening day was delayed a week. The new website is terribly hard to navigate and does not indicate that the mountain is open either. I would list opening day under “events,” on the website. If you click on “hours of operation,” on the website, that should include lifts, the most important part of the resort! When you opened M1 onSunday, this App indicated that most of the Black Diamonds were open. They were closed! Please run your App and Website properly or shut it down. ### 1/5 — Poor design *2024-12-11* Snow report…what’s with including blown snow as total snow depth? Most people understand snow totals to be what falls naturally from the sky. Poor decision to play fast and loose with this number. Trails…why no information on grooming. The old app had all the information you needed in one spot. Now it’s fragmented and misleading. ### 1/5 — No Useful Information This Year, grrrr! *2024-12-06* This app used to be great! The mountain is now open and that is not indicated on the app at all. The new website is terribley hard to navigate and does not indicate that the mountain is open either. I would list opening day under “events!” If you click on “hours of operation,” that should include lifts, the most important part of the resort! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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.

It was also easy to buy a lift ticket on. ### 5/5 — Solid *2025-01-18, version 6.1.3* Kind of expected this to be a bare bones app but it is actually really solid. Good work, smuggs! ### 5/5 — Smuggs app *2025-01-10, version 16.1* Fantastic! Nothing like it --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
