Smuggs 2 4 12
First time to Smugglers Notch and was impressed by the terrain and vibe but not so much the lifts! First off, drove up to the NH lakes region Friday night.

By the time, we got on 93 in New Hampton, it was snowing lightly. By the time we reached WV/Campton, there was snow on the highway blowing around.
