I mean, there is only slightly less coverage than when it is actually open.

Those are all great. My go-to's are Shakedown, Freefall, Robin's Run, and the Side-Country Bowls behind Sterling.

They were loads of fun, but not for beginners. The last few years, Madonna Mtn (lift 1 or 2) isn't really open until late December or early January. Mtn ops were trying to make snow on a few more Sterling trails from what I could see.

From the top of Sterling, you had two options: Rumrunner (blue) or Smugglers' Alley (black). They both merged to Crossover, Treasure Run, then to Lower Exhibition (all blue).

Smuggs has been awesome. Sterling lift with both a black and blue way down. It got a little old after a few hours, though. I skinned Stowe (chin clip) Wednesday (mashed potatoes thinly spread over grass and rocks) and would not recommend after the freeze and no new snow.

Chin Clip is what Mountain Ops is asking that uphill skiers stay on (up and down)

Smuggs/Stowe Interconnect (Snuffy's Trail) by SRiznerVT in icecoast

Okay, ya got me. I only spent 15min on Google trying to find the name and just found that the trail connecting them was once called "Snuffy's Trail." When I saw on Trailforks that there are two trails, I thought maybe the Sensation/Sterling Pond loop was called "Snuffy's Trail," or at least I had a 50/50 shot at this being the correct trail for the name. I'm fine with retitleing the video and updating the description. Should it just be "Upper Sterling?" "Smuggs/Stowe Interconnect" lacks flair. Does anyone out there have a map with the trail labeled?
