New Owners'
Welcome, all new owners. The New Owner Committee (NOC) is here for you. Take a look at the New Owner Website. Other resources are the SNHA website, the Full Owner Facebook page, the Smugglers' Notch Website, and the SNHA office (see the contact information for SNHA above)
Insurance
This is a reminder to all homeowners to ensure that your unit owner’s policy – HO6 – is current.
Real Estate
Real Estate Committee: Compared to the “post pandemic” years, there has been a recent uptick in the number of homes available for sale. Homes are also spending more time on the market. As of August 15, there were 8 homes listed for sale on the Smuggs Real Estate page, and an additional 3 with other realtors, visible on Realtor.com. Much more to choose from now for anyone interested in becoming a new Smuggs homeowner, but a more difficult market for anyone now looking to sell. It will be interesting to see what prices are obtained, and how they compare to the new tax valuations assigned by the town this year.
Technology / Wifi update
The Technology subcommittee meets once a month on the third Tuesday of the month from noon to 1pm.
The August Technology Subcommittee meeting focused on reviewing proposed projects for the 2026-2027 term which includes: sensor and predictive maintenance, Wi-Fi performance improvements, consistency in communication and processes, energy management systems, and next-generation entertainment.
Since these projects involve multiple stakeholders including the SNHA, the Resort, the Regimes, Ashley management, etc. we are putting together roles and responsibilities by project.
As an example, we are taking a phased approach for the sensor work from the pilot phase through to the maintenance and monitoring phase. We are in a pilot phase right now where a few diverse unit types are being evaluated. The immediate next phase will be to take the results of the pilot program and craft a strategic approach for the sensor program that will be shared with all the stakeholders so the project initiation and budget can be approved by the accountable stakeholders.
Stay tuned for more details in upcoming newsletters.

The cost for a full owner "not participating in the Rental Program" is currently $493 / year. The Share Owners Benefits Grid has the cost for the Equishare and Familyshare owners (half and a third, respectively).
