> Smugglers' Notch is opening five glades (permits pending) on the Sterling Mountain side. Last we heard, ski patrol was hoping to do the glading instead of the ski area's nonskiing maintenance crews. We say if you want it done right, leave it to the locals.
> Deal of the month: A full-season pass at Attitash is $999, but the resort will take $100 off the price for customers who trade in a 1999-2000 season pass from any non-ASC resort.
> We hear that Vermont has stopped taxing clothing purchases of under $100. Overtaxed out-of-staters may want to wait and buy their new britches while there on vacation.
> Yet another great deal: Okemo is offering a $99 Flex Card, which gets you 25 percent off on single-day lift tickets on weekends and holidays; 30 percent off midweek.
> Delta Airlines will be offering direct flights¿bypassing Denver International Airport¿and ski-package vacations from Atlanta, Georgia, to Vail, Colorado, starting December 22. The packages (booked through Delta Vacations) include airfare, hotel, and ground transportation, as well as a free day of rental equipment with two or more paid days.
> Be careful how you park at Killington. Last season, a 38-year-old Vermont man became enraged when a New Jersey vehicle "touched" his with its front bumper. The Vermonter allegedly took sweeping swings at the Jerseyite with his snowboard, clipping him in the legs, then smashing his snowboard against the victim's car.
