Throwing it back a few years

Well… maybe more than a few years.

Any guesses on when this photo was taken? Anyone remember the Barn or Snow Snake Bar?

Leadership Announcement from Jon Schaefer -

Smugglers’ Notch Resort announced today the appointment of Brandon Swartz as its new General Manager, welcoming the seasoned ski industry leader whose lifelong connection to Vermont helped shape both his career and passion for mountain communities.

Swartz’s connection to Vermont began at just three years old when he first learned to ski at Mount Snow. That passion eventually led to his first job teaching children to ski at the resort and inspired a career that has spanned more than two decades in the ski industry. Swartz later graduated with a Recreation Resource and Ski Resort Management degree from Vermont State University Lyndon, where he met his wife and established lasting ties to the Northeast Kingdom. The couple would later marry at Burke Mountain, where Swartz also served as a ski patroller early in his career.

Now, after more than two decades of leadership roles at respected mountain resorts across the country, Swartz will return to Vermont to help steward one of the state’s most beloved mountain destinations. At Smugglers’ Notch, Swartz will oversee all aspects of resort operations while working closely with employees, homeowners, local businesses, and community partners.

“Coming back to Vermont is incredibly meaningful to me,” said Swartz. “This is where I learned the ski business and where I developed a deep appreciation for the role resorts play in their communities. My wife Nicole and I are excited for the move and to raise our sons on the mountain.”

Life involves a lot of choices

And decision fatigue is real, but thankfully not all choices have to be hard - like whether or not to hang out at the pool on a beautiful day.

Another choice that doesn’t have to be hard: Where to stay on your vacation. Tripadvisor makes it easy by recognizing the top 10% of properties worldwide with their Traveler’s Choice Awards.

We are honored to have recently received this recognition and we hope it’ll make one of the many choices involved in planning a vacation, just a little bit easier.

The more the merrier

This past Friday we welcomed the very merry Champlain Valley Office of Economic Opportunity team for their annual all-staff gathering. If you’ve never heard of this awesome non-profit, CVOEO and their 300+ employees are on a mission to end poverty in Addison, Chittenden, Franklin, and Grand Isle Counties. They do the important work of addressing economic, social, racial, and environmental justice issues with the shared goal of helping people achieve economic independence.

If you also subscribe to the “more the merrier” mentality, and you’re looking to gather your group (company, family, school, sports team, circus, etc.) for a day or more of fun, then head to the link below to learn about our group offerings:

Walk before you run

If you’ve never played disc golf before, you don’t have to start on the big kid courses (Brewster Ridge and Fox Run Meadow). The Village 9 is our specially designed beginner-friendly course that makes your introduction to the sport fun, not frustrating.

The course starts at the Bike Shop at Sir Henry’s Hill and works its way up the ski trails before looping back down. At each hole you’ll find signage that offers helpful hints. Check in at the Bike Shop during operational hours to get a scorecard, “Disc-over Smuggs Punch Card” (which has a bunch of awesome deals!), and rental discs.
