We had heard rumor of a MTB program being developed at Smugglers Notch for some time now. We’re pleased to announce that Smuggs mountain biking has been launched this fall.
Developed by friend and fellow rider Rick Sokoloff , Smuggs had been hosting riders this summer in a pilot program limited to paying guests. Now that a small pumptrack has been constructed and some of the various single and double tracks on the property have been reconditioned, they are opening their doors to the public. Here’s a list of some of their current offerings:
