Great Film Icons #4: Alfred Hitchcock
"There is a dreadful story that I hate actors. Imagine anyone hating Jimmy Stewart... or Jack Warner. I can't imagine how such a rumor began. Of course it may possibly be because I was once quoted as saying that actors are cattle. My actor friends know I would never be capable of such a thoughtless, rude and unfeeling remark, that I would never call them cattle... What I probably said was that actors should be treated like cattle." ~Alfred Hitchcock
Alfred Joseph Hitchcock was born August 13th 1899, in Leytonstone, London, the second son and youngest of the three children of William Hitchcock, a greengrocer, and his wife, Emma Jane Hitchcock. Growing up in a predominantly catholic family Hitchcock was sent to various Catholic boarding schools and often described his childhood as being very lonely and sheltered, which was undoubtedly compounded by his weight issues.
Hitchcock claimed that on one occasion early in his life, after he had acted childishly, his father sent him to the local police station carrying a note. When he presented the police officer on duty with the note, he was locked in a cell for a few moments, long enough to be petrified. This was a favorite anecdote of his, and the incident is often cited in connection with the theme of distrust of police which runs through many of his films. His mother would often make him address her while standing at the foot of her bed, especially if he behaved badly, forcing him to stand there for hours. This would be recalled by the character Norman Bates in Psycho.
Hitchcock lost his father at the age of 14 and seeing the opportunity left the jesuit run school he had been attending to study at the School for Engineering and Navigation. After graduating, he became a draftsman and advertising designer with a cable company.
About that same time Hitchcock became intrigued by photography and started working in film in London. In 1920, he obtained a full-time job at Islington Studios under its American owners, Famous Players-Lasky, and their British successors, Gainsborough Pictures, designing the titles for silent movies.
As a major talent in a new industry with plenty of opportunity, he rose quickly. In 1925, Michael Balcon of Gainsborough Pictures gave him a chance to direct his first film, The Pleasure Garden, made at the Ufa studios in Germany. However, this as well as his second film The Mountain Eagle failed commercialy and he almost gave up but his third movie, his first in the thriller genre, was a major success and etched out the foundation of his career.
Released in 1927, The Lodger featured Expressionist techniques he had witnessed firsthand in Germany and of course attractive blondes who are strangled and the new lodger (Ivor Novello) in the Bunting family's upstairs apartment falls under heavy suspicion. It was the success of The Lodger, wich caused Hitchcock began his first efforts of self promotion in the media, hiring a publicist to cement his place in the growing British cinema.
In 1926, Hitchcock married his assistant director Alma Reville. They had a daughter, Patricia, in 1928. According to many people who knew Hitchcock, he couldn't stand to even look at his wife while she was pregnant. Never the less Alma was Hitchcock's closest collaborator. She wrote some of his screenplays and (though often uncredited) worked with him on every one of his films.
In 1929, he began work on Blackmail, his tenth film and his first sound movie, the climax of the film taking place on the dome of the British Museum, this is also the beganing of Hitchcock's tradition of using famous landmarks as the backdrop to a story. In 1935 with The 39 Steps Hitchcock began the use of another of his regular plot devices, the "MacGuffin", a plot device around which a whole story would revolve.
By the end of the 1930s, Hitchcock was at the top of his game artistically, and in a position to name his own terms that's when David O. Selznick managed to entice the Hitchcocks to Hollywood. Hitchcock's gallows humour continued in his American work, together with the suspense that became his trademark. However, working arrangements with his new producer were less than optimal. Selznick suffered from perennial money problems and Hitchcock was often unhappy with the amount of creative control demanded by Selznick over his films. Consequently, Selznick ended up "loaning" Hitchcock to the larger studios more often than producing Hitchcock's films himself.
With the prestigious Selznick picture Rebecca in 1940, Hitchcock made his first American movie, set in England and based on a novel by English author Dame Daphne du Maurier. This Gothic melodrama explores the fears of a naïve young bride who enters a great English country home and must grapple with the problems of a distant husband, a predatory housekeeper, and the legacy of her husband's late wife, the beautiful, mysterious Rebecca. This film is also noted for the lesbian undercurrents in Judith Anderson's performance. His bridling under the heavy hand of producer David O. Selznick was exemplified by the final scene of Rebecca (1940). Selznick wanted his director to show smoke coming out of the burning house's chimney forming the letter 'R." Hitch thought the touch lacked any subtlety; instead, he showed flames licking at a pillow embroidered with the letter 'R.'
Rebecca was a huge critical success winning the Academy Award for Best Picture in 1940, Hitchcock however did not win the Best Director award; the rules of the academy at the time dictated that the Award for Best Picture go to the producer Selznick. This is one reason why Hitchcock began producing his own films in later years, though ironically he never received an Academy Award as director or producer, although he was awarded the Irving Thalberg Memorial Award at the 1967 Oscars. He delivered the shortest acceptance speech in Oscar history simply saying "Thank you.".

Even after the success of Rebecca there were additional problems between Selznick and Hitchcock; Selznick, as he usually did, imposed very restrictive rules upon Hitchcock, hindering his creative control. Hitchcock was forced to shoot the film as Selznick wanted, immediately creating friction within their relationship. At the same time, Selznick complained about Hitchcock's "goddam jigsaw cutting," which meant that the producer did not have nearly the leeway to create his own film as he liked, but had to follow Hitchcock's vision of the finished product.
Hitchcock's work during the 1940s was diverse, ranging from the romantic comedy Mr. & Mrs. Smith (1941) and the courtroom drama The Paradine Case (1947) to the dark and disturbing Shadow of a Doubt (1943). Shadow of a Doubt, his personal favourite, was about young Charlotte "Charlie" Newton (Teresa Wright), who suspects her beloved uncle Charlie Spencer (Joseph Cotten) of murder. In its use of overlapping characters, dialogue, and closeups it has provided a generation of film theorists with psychoanalytic potential, including Jacques Lacan and Slavoj Žižek. The film also hearkens to one of Cotten's better known films, Citizen Kane.
Spellbound (1945) starring a young Gregory Peck and Ingrid Bergman explored the then very fashionable subject of psychoanalysis and featured a dream sequence which was designed by Salvador Dalí. The actual dream sequence in the film was considerably cut from the original planned scene that was to run for some minutes but proved too disturbing for the finished film. This film also contained two unprecedented point-of-view shots were achieved by constructing a large wooden hand (which would appear to belong to the character whose point of view the camera took) and outsized props for it to hold: a bucket-sized glass of milk and a large wooden gun. For added novelty and impact, the climactic gunshot was hand-coloured red on some copies of the black-and-white print of the film.
Notorious (1946) marked Hitchcock's first film as a producer as well as director. As Selznick failed to see the subject's potential, he allowed Hitchcock to make the film for RKO. From this point on, Hitchcock would produce his own films, giving him a far greater degree of freedom to pursue the projects that interested him. Starring Hitchcock regulars Ingrid Bergman and Cary Grant, and featuring a plot about Nazis, uranium, and South America, Notorious was a huge box office success and has remained one of Hitchcock's most acclaimed films. Its inventive use of suspense and props briefly led to Hitchcock's being under surveillance by the CIA due to his use of uranium as a plot device.
Rope (his first colour film) came next in 1948. Here Hitchcock experimented with marshalling suspense in a confined environment, as he had done with an earlier picture with Lifeboat. He also experimented with exceptionally long takes — up to ten minutes. Featuring James Stewart in the leading role, Rope was based on the real Leopold and Loeb case of the 1920s, Rope is also among the earliest openly gay-themed films to emerge from the Hays Office–controlled Hollywood studio era.
With Strangers on a Train (1951), based on the novel by Patricia Highsmith, Hitchcock combined many of the best elements from his preceding British and American films. Two men casually meet and speculate on removing people who are causing them difficulty. One of the men, though, takes this banter entirely seriously. With Farley Granger reprising some elements of his role from Rope, Strangers continued the director's interest in the narrative possibilities of homosexual blackmail and murder.
MCA head Lew Wasserman, whose client list also included James Stewart and Janet Leigh among other actors who would appear in Hitchcock's films, had a significent impact in packaging and marketing Hitchcock's films from the 1950s and on. With Wasserman's help, Hitchcock not only received tremendous creative freedom from the studios, but with Paramount's profit-sharing contract, Hitchcock received substantive financial rewards as well.
Three very popular films, all starring Grace Kelly, followed. Dial M for Murder (1954) was adapted from the popular stage play by Frederick Knott. This was originally another experimental film, with Hitchcock using the technique of 3D cinematography, although the film was apparently never released in this format at first; it did receive screenings in the early 1980s in 3D form. Rear Window starred James Stewart again, as well as Thelma Ritter and Raymond Burr. Here, the wheelchair-bound Stewart observes the movements of his neighbours across the courtyard and becomes convinced one of them has murdered his wife. Like Lifeboat and Rope, the movie was photographed almost entirely within the confines of a small space: Stewart's tiny studio apartment overlooking the massive courtyard set. To Catch a Thief, set in the French Riviera, starred Kelly and Cary Grant.
1958's Vertigo again starred Stewart, this time with Kim Novak and Barbara Bel Geddes. The film was a commercial failure, but has come to be viewed by many as one of Hitchcock's masterpieces.
Hitchcock followed Vertigo with three very different films, which were all massive commercial successes. All are also recognised as among his very best films: North by Northwest (1959), Psycho (1960), and The Birds (1963). The latter two were particularly notable for their unconventional soundtracks, both by Bernard Herrmann: the screeching strings in the murder scene in Psycho pushed the limits of the time, and The Birds dispensed completely with conventional instruments, using an electronically produced soundtrack.

These were his last great films, after which his career slowly wound down (although some critics such as Robin Wood and Donald Spoto contend Marnie, from 1964, is first-class Hitchcock). In 1972, Hitchcock returned to London to film Frenzy, his last major success. For the first time, Hitchcock allowed nudity and profane language, which had before been taboo, in one of his films.

Failing health slowed down his output over the last two decades of his life. Although from about 1977 until his death, he worked with a succession of writers on a film to be known as "The Short Night". The majority of the writing was done by David Freeman, who published the final screenplay after Hitchcock's death.
Hitchcock was created a Knight Commander of the Order of the British Empire by Queen Elizabeth II in the 1980 New Years Honours. He died just four months later, on April 29, before he had the opportunity to be formally invested by the Queen. He was nevertheless entitled to be known as Sir Alfred Hitchcock and to use the postnominal letters "KBE", because he remained a British subject when he adopted American citizenship in 1956. Alfred Hitchcock died from renal failure in his Bel-Air, Los Angeles home, aged 80, and was survived by his wife Alma Reville, and their daughter, Patricia Hitchcock O'Connell. A funeral service was held at Good Shepherd Catholic Church in Beverly Hills. Hitch's suggestion for his tombstone inscription was "This is what we do to bad little boys." His body was cremated and the ashes scattered.
Most of Hitchcock's films contain cameo appearances by Hitchcock himself: the director would be seen for a brief moment boarding a bus, crossing in front of a building, standing in an apartment across the courtyard, or appearing in a photograph. This playful gesture became one of Hitchcock's signatures. As a recurring theme he would carry a musical instrument — especially memorable was the large double bass case that he wrestles onto the train at the beginning of Strangers on a Train. He always made his appearances in the beginning of the films, because he knew viewers were watching for him and he didn't want to divert their attention away from the story's plot.
Click here to watch some of Hitchcock's many cameos:
The Quotable Alfred Hitchcock:
"The length of a film should be directly related to the endurance of the human bladder"
"To me Psycho was a big comedy. Had to be."
"Even my failures make money and become classics a year after I make them."
"Always make the audience suffer as much as possible"
"When an actor comes to me and wants to discuss his character, I say, 'It's in the script.' If he says, 'But what's my motivation?, ' I say, 'Your salary.'"
"There is nothing quite so good as a burial at sea. It is simple, tidy, and not very incriminating."
About Dario Argento and his film Profondo rosso: "This young Italian guy is starting to worry me."
On directing Charles Laughton: "You can't direct a Laughton picture. The best you can hope for is to referee."
"If it's a good movie, the sound could go off and the audience would still have a perfectly clear idea of what was going on."
[regarding "The Birds"] You know I've often wondered what the Audubon Society's attitude might be to this picture.
"Cary Grant is the only actor I ever loved in my whole life."
"Blondes make the best victims. They're like virgin snow that shows up the bloody footprints."

There are no formal attendance examinations, all assessment is in the form of questions, assignments and case studies which all provide the opportunity to fully demonstrate all that you have learned throughout your course.
About Dr. Lawrence Plaskett
Dr. Lawrence Plaskett graduated from Cambridge University in 1956 as a biochemist and then completed a PhD at University College Hospital Medical School, London in 1960. He then became a Lecturer in Medical Biochemistry at Edinburgh University Medical School (1960-65).
At this time he was a specialist in thyroid biochemistry and thyroid diseases. Changing to the food industry, he was Research Director for an international group (1965-74) and subsequently established his own Biotechnology Consultancy Company (1975-82) serving the Food and Bio-Energy Industries and contributing to the bio-energy policies of UK, EU and Brazil.
From the later 1970's he developed his interest in unorthodox approaches to clinical nutrition and Chinese medicine and he established a multi-disciplined alternative medicine clinic in the South West of the UK and a practice in London's Upper Harley Street.
He was first in the UK to set up a College for training Nutritional Medicine Practitioners in 1982, teaching a holistic approach. His College of 700 students took up a leading position in the UK and now licences his training courses to colleges worldwide, covering Nutritional Medicine, Iridology and Weight Management.
Lawrence Plaskett has in all some 80 publications consisting of research papers, UK and US patent applications and scientific reports on his research and consulting assignments. He has written many articles and newsletters on nutritional issues and designed a range of nutritional supplement products. He is known for having produced a nutritional cancer therapy protocol that includes use of Aloe vera that has been applied in the UK. His experience from this has now been recorded in his book "The Nutritional Therapy of Cancer"
The Benefits of Studying with Us
Nutritional Expertise
Each of the courses has evolved from Dr. Plaskett's orthodox training in biochemistry and his later conversion to the holistic concepts of naturopathy or nature cure. The courses developed in breadth and depth as a result of his 20 years + experience as a practitioner, teacher, researcher and writer in nutritional medicine - some may say that Dr. Plaskett is the Grandfather of Nutritional Medicine in the UK.
All of the Plaskett Nutrition College tutors have also completed Dr.Plaskett's training and fully embrace the philosophy behind his teachings.
Flexible, distance learning
Whatever your goals or life circumstances are, the Plaskett Nutrition College course provision is designed to fit around you and to make your study experience as enjoyable and smooth as possible. You can move seamlessly from one course to another, or even study more than one course simultaneously. The Plaskett Nutrition College enables you to gain qualifications when you need them.
Unlimited access to the online campus allows you to study our courses from anywhere in the world and with no set timetable or attendance requirement, you have the option to continue with your current commitments while you study. Our online campus can be viewed using a desktop, tablet or mobile device which provides you with the freedom to create your own routine and study at your own comfortable pace in the environment of your choice.
Worldwide study
Our fully supported distance-learning format (no attendance requirement) makes our courses readily available to students worldwide who wish to gain an international qualification that are accredited by the IICT (International Institute for Complementary Therapists).
Our online study platform offers you the opportunity to interact and network with other like-minded students from a diverse range of cultures.

Our courses have also been translated into Spanish and are available to Spanish-speaking students via our Licensee based in Spain.
We are often asked why our courses are so cheap compared to other institutions offering similar qualifications. The reason for this is that for many years we were operating as a not-for-profit company and although this is no longer the case, we made the decision to keep the prices affordable to our audience. We have a worldwide student base and more typical course fees would put study out of reach for students in many territories due to a weaker economy. We want Dr Lawrence Plaskett's teachings to spread far and wide and do not wish our course pricing structure to be a block to future health in societies. Please be assured that the pricing not a reflection of the quality of the course, you are more than welcome to request to preview a course sample if you so wish.
The most fundamental underlying principle of Alternative Medicine is that of promoting and supporting the body's inherent ability to heal itself, to heal from within. That is what Naturopathy seeks to do. It seeks to clear away the obstacles to the body's ways of self-healing. It also seeks to support and strengthen the forces within the body that are responsible for that healing.
Most training programmes for nutritional practitioners today are not Naturopathic and this is something that we pride ourselves on being able to offer at the Plaskett College: a range of courses that are truly naturopathic in nature. ***Read more about Naturopathy here***
Our courses are accredited by the International Institute for Complementary Therapists (IICT). We are also recognised by the FNTP, the The Society of Naturopaths and the Wholistic Society.

Public procurement has been the subject of research for a long time in the work of scientists from both the economically developed countries and those undergoing the transformation of public finances. Their research comes from different points of view, namely from the essence of the definition, the process of their conduct, the problems of the legislative framework to their effective implementation. In addition, the issue of electronic public procurement, which can greatly enhance the transparency of this process and reduce the level of corruption inherent in this area in all countries without any exception, is becoming increasingly relevant in recent times.
Based on the conducted analysis, the article proposes the definition of the term of public procurement, defines the principles of public procurement as a controlled subject in the electronic environment of their conduct, and systematizes the basic indicators characterizing the effectiveness of public procurement. Based on the Granger causality method, an analysis of efficiency was performed and the basic indicators determining the level of savings in the public procurement system were determined. It is established that the use of Granger causality in changing the amount of savings in the system of public procurement gives only a quantitative characteristic. For a more complete picture quantitative analysis is supplemented with qualitative parameters.

The facilitation of economic transactions and friendly investor environment is undertaken through effective performance of financial systems. Mobilization of savings and funding the profitable business opportunities are essential in improving the efficiency of intermediation. The study aims to evaluate the effects of nationalization and privatization on Indian banks. Various factors have been considered to examine the effects of privatization and nationalization, including sources of public sector inefficiency, measures of firm performance, econometric issues, and the mode of privatization. The data was collected for the period of 1998 to 2016 from Indian banks. Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) was used to evaluate the financial reports of the banks selected to evaluate the efficiency of input and output variables. Positive results were observed, concerning the efficiency and profitability of banking industry after banks' privatization. Performance of private banks has been observed effective and efficient as compared to the public sector banks. Privatization of banks must be increased and maintained to sustain the efficiency of the banks and implement strategies to maintain the assets. Future studies may recruit more appropriate sample size to evaluate the privatization and nationalization effects of Indian banking industry. Greater number of banks will provide more precise results, using data envelopment analysis.
Spin-off policy and efficiency in the Indonesian Islamic banking industry

Indonesian Islamic Banking Act requires conventional banks to spin-off their Islamic business units if they had fulfilled the spin-off criteria. Some of the Islamic business units had done the spin-off process although they are not fulfilling the spin-off criteria. The data showed that there is an efficiency decline after the spun-off. This study is going to examine the spin-off's impact on the efficiency in spin-off banks. The method used in this paper is a difference-in-differences analysis. The sample used is four spin's banks as treatment objects and two Islamic full-pledge banks as control objects. This research shows that there is an impact of spin-off policy on the efficiency in spin-off banks. There is an efficiency decrease in spin-off banks after the activities. It implies that the spin-off policy is not the only strategy that can be implemented. The policy-makers can choose other strategies to enhance the development of Islamic banking industry.

For the past few years, major progress in providing academic autonomy to Ukrainian universities has been made. However, a large number of universities even now remain the establishments with post-Soviet bureaucratic type of organization of management. As a result, a severe and complicated system of control over current activity has been supported, which requires from scientific and pedagogical workers not only to work effectively, but also to keep the set of rules and procedures. The purpose of the research is to search for possibilities of efficient application by modern universities of flexible matrix structures of management while forming their own internal system of quality control. Threats from bureaucratic management have been generalized for competitiveness of a modern university at the market of educational, scientific and consulting services. The concept and methodology on de-bureaucratization of the system of quality in higher education on the basis of the process approach of the theory of management and rationalistic logistics obtained further development. The mechanism of management of quality at the operational level of the university through integration of the segment-focused approach, system of grading and matrix organization of regular processes has been improved. Ways to apply matrix structure the middle and low levels of managing university have been suggested. Author's recommendations have been provided towards rating evaluation of work of departments and their segment-focused structural organization. The matrix structure of management of quality of carrying out the temporary research project in the university under the conditions of the budget commission has been developed and practically tested.

Two weeks to the day after my first sunset at Magnolia Park, I went back for another. :) We'd had a front move through and the clouds were just gorgeous in the sky. Besides, who can resist the allure of fresh air and a breeze after a long week at work?
See what I mean about the clouds? I knew that as soon as the sun disappeared beneath the horizon, it would start to light up the clouds in all sorts of colors.
While I waited for the sun to set, I put on a neutral density filter and played with some longer exposures. Those clouds were on the move, and I wanted to try to capture the motion in my shots. I did several long exposures, and none of them quite caught the feel of the moment. Then on whim, I combined each of them in Photomatix. The result is the shot below – look at the sun's rays as the clouds move through!
Sunsets happen so fast. Before I knew it, the sun had disappeared and the sky was aglow with color. So pretty!
But my favorite shot of the night was the HDR image taken about 15 minutes after sunset. The light was fading, and the clouds were bathed in beautiful pink light. This last shot is 7 exposures blended together. Well worth the fight with the mosquitos who came out after dark!

Windows 7 Still Powers at Least 100 Million PCs and Laptops: Report
...even a year after Microsoft officially ended support
Beebom Staff -
Beebom Staff
Last Updated: January 3, 2021 2:32 pm
The 14th of January will mark the first anniversary of Microsoft ending the extended support for its ever-popular Windows 7 OS. The Redmond giant stopped supporting the OS for consumers last year and only distributed it to business and educational customers via electronic software updates (ESUs). However, recent reports suggest that people love the age-old operating system, and it still powers millions of systems around the world (iPhones not included!)
According to earlier reports, Windows 7 was running on almost one-fourth of all the Windows devices worldwide, as of August. Now, even though a whole year, filled with disasters, passed since Microsoft ended support for the OS, recent reports suggest that the love for Windows 7 is still strong amongst users, despite the minor bugs and issues.
As per a report by the United States Government Digital Analytics Program, almost 19% of the total visitors on US-based websites were using Windows 7 on their systems, while 75.8% of users were running the latest Windows 10. Another similar report from StatCounter Global Stats shows that around 17.7% of all the Windows users were running the older OS at the end of 2020.
Now, Microsoft says that almost 1.5 billion people in the world use its operating system on their PCs or laptops. So, turning the above percentages into numbers show that Windows 7 still runs on at least 100 million systems worldwide.
This is pretty impressive and shows just how reliable Windows 7 was at its peak. However, Microsoft is doing some pretty good things with its latest Windows 10 OS and is also planning to completely overhaul the software this year. Moreover, the organizations and governments who are using Windows 7 via ESUs will have to pay more to keep receiving updates with each passing year.
As a result, from this point onwards, the Windows 7 user-base will only decrease at an increasing rate. And at some point in the near future, it will become more like the once-popular Windows XP, which barely has a user-base now.

People stick with Windows 7 because it works, they probably are using older technology in terms of peripherals and software that might not work in Windows 10. Then those Windows 7 users probably would need a new PC to run Windows 10 too. Considering how many are also financially constrained and couldn't afford a new PC even if they wanted to buy one. Windows 10 at the start was very messy, the twice a year feature upgrades were terrible and required months of fixes. Seriously this more than anything caused users to stick with what they knew worked.

Smugglers Notch
Smugglers' Notch, Vermont
First Season: 1950s
Vertical Drop: 2610 feet
Standing Lifts: 6 doubles, surface lifts
Past Lifts: Surface lifts

Recent NewEnglandSkiIndustry.com News:
1/8/2015: Smugglers Notch Snowmaking Pump House Burns
Located north of Stowe, Smugglers Notch is a unique resort that features plentiful family learning terrain, aggressive expert trails, and a chairlift infrastructure composed solely of fixed grip doubles.
Smugglers' Notch ski area possibly dates back to the early 1950s as a small rope tow ski area. Not much is known about this development, but it is possible it was not located within the footprint of the present day resort.
On April 30, 1956, Smugglers' Notch Ski-Ways, Inc. was incorporated in Vermont. Dr. Roger Mann was elected President at the first annual meeting, held on June 4, 1956.
The never-constructed Snowflake Lodge
In a stock offering document, the founders described Stowe as the "Ski Capital of the East" and that the new upstart and the Mt. Mansfield Company "will have lifts terminating on Sterling Mountain" which "will enable skiers to enjoy both sides" via a "ski across a lake." Initial trails and lifts were to be developed on Sterling Mountain, followed by a joint venture between Smugglers' Notch and Mt. Mansfield Company for a chairlift on Madonna Mountain. Morse Mountain and Whiteface Mountain were also slated for future development.
An elaborate building named the "Snowflake Lodge" was planned near the base of the ski area, featuring lodging, dining, a lounge, and a ski shop, all to be owned and operated by the corporation. The State of Vermont was to operate the parking lots and a snack bar.
Developed (with the help of Vermont Department of Forests and Parks and nearby Stowe) and managed by Warren Warner (formerly of Okemo), Smugglers Notch debuted for the 1956-57 season with two Poma lifts on Sterling Mountain. The state of Vermont built a 300 car parking lot and a 1,600 foot warming hut, while the ownership built a smaller building to host a ski shop and ski patrol. The Southwest Passage trail was cut to provide the connection from the new ski area's Sterling Mountain to Spruce Peak at Stowe, while the Northeast Passage trail provided a link from the top of Spruce Peak back to Sterling Mountain.

The lower mountain was served by a 2,000 foot long Poma lift. From the top of that lift, skiers could ski over to a 3,300 foot long Poma, which then carried them to the top of Sterling Mountain. Trail names such as "Rum Runner," "Hangman's Noose," and "The Black Snake" were derived from smugglers who frequented Smugglers Notch during the War of 1812. The combined ride time of the two lifts was billed as 8 minutes.
Meanwhile, IBM CEO Thomas Watson Jr. and his family had a ski home in nearby Stowe. In 1957, IBM opened a facility in nearby Essex Junction.
Smugglers' Alley was added for the 1958-59 season, increasing the trail count to 6, ranging from beginner to expert. During the following off season, Warren Warner was hired as manager of the Belknap Mountain Recreation Area, which would soon become Gunstock.
The 120-day 1959-60 season was a profitable one, resulting in planning for future development of trails, lifts, and peaks. Caution flags were thrown following season when the area "suffered the severe washout of 1961" in February, which washed out slopes and skier visits and put operations in the red. Nevertheless, a new novice Poma lift was installed in 1961 and surveys conducted for the installation of a chairlift on Madonna Peak. In addition, the company pushed state officials to either begin winter maintenance of the road through the notch or construct a tunnel.
Becoming a Major Ski Area
Madonna Mountain in the late 1960s
Allegedly a minority Stowe shareholder, Tom Watson became frustrated with a real estate issue perhaps around the turn of the decade. As the legend goes, one day Watson skied around to Sterling Mountain from Spruce Peak and saw the potential for a massive ski development in Smugglers Notch.
Watson joined the Smugglers Notch Ski-Ways Board of Directors circa 1962, providing outside vision and planning for the area as it reached a crossroads. Despite good natural snowfall during the 1961-62 season, sales growth had stagnated, as skiers began to seek chairlift served skiing. As a result, the company decided to go full steam ahead on becoming a chairlift served area.
In June 1963, Dr. Mann announced the Smugglers Notch had signed a contract to install what would be one of the largest chairlifts in the Eastern United States on Madonna Mountain. Installed by helicopter, the new lift expanded the ski area's vertical drop from about 1,500 feet to 2,150 feet. Three new trails were expected for the start of the season, with a few more soon to follow.
In 1964, Thomas Watson Jr. and his brother, IBM World Trade Corporation President Arthur "Dick" Watson, likely acquired a majority ownership stake in the ski area. Big changes were in store for their first full season in charge of the ski area.
For the 1964-65 season, a double chairlift was installed on Sterling Mountain, providing skiers with a modern ride to the summit as compared to the two Poma lifts. Now a major area, Watson decided to change the name of Smugglers Notch ski area to Madonna Mountain in honor of Madonna di Campiglio, Italy.
Three more trails were added for 1966-67, while larger changes were working their way through the pipeline.
Becoming a Major Resort
Morse in the 1970s
Rumors of a large 2,000 acre land acquisition via a Watson agent spread around New England in January 1967. In April of 1967, General Manager Rolland Vautour announced a dramatic 10 year, 8 phase expansion plan, which was expected to quadruple the size of the ski area. The first phase of this plan was realized immediately, as about $750,000 was spent to develop the Morse Mountain area.
The initial Morse Mountain development included a 5,155 foot Hall double chairlift, four new trails, and a two million gallon snowmaking pond. At the bottom of the new area, a large four season village was started. $300,000 was invested in Morse snowmaking infrastructure for 1968-69.
Watson Steps Down
Madonna Mountain circa the 1970s
In November of 1970, owner Thomas Watson suffered a heart attack. Though he recovered from it, he cut back on his business interests, first stepping down as CEO of IBM in June of 1971. Three years after his heart attack, Madonna Mountain Corporation sold the ski area to a subsidiary of Stanmar, Inc., called Smuggler's Notch Corp. While Thomas Watson would still have more adventures ahead of him, such as becoming US Ambassador to the Soviet Union, Arthur Watson would die a few years later as a result of a fall at home.
Headed up by Stanley Snider, Smuggler's Notch Corp. focused on Snider's specialty, resort development. One of the first changes took place immediately, as the ski area was renamed Smuggler's Notch for the 1973-74 season.
Its first noticeable on-mountain addition took place in 1979, when the Madonna II chairlift was installed.
In January of 1987, former AT&T Vice President William P. Stritzler became Managing Director at Smugglers' Notch.
A second double chairlift, purchased from defunct Timber Ridge-Magic Mountain ski area, was installed on Morse Mountain for the 1993-94 season. The following year, a T-Bar was installed on the Sterling Practice Slope.
New Ownership
The Catwalk trail on Madonna Mountain (2004)
Deciding to retire, Stanley Snider sold Smugglers' Notch to Stritzler in late 1996. Former Stanmar Comptroller Robert F. Mulcahy remained on board in upper management.
Three years later, the Morse Highlands complex was developed, served by a small double chairlift.
Though one of the largest ski areas in the state, Smugglers' Notch has had relatively modest lift infrastructure for decades. In fact, Smugglers' Notch is the only ski area in New England with a 2,000 foot vertical drop that has not replaced any of its original aerial lifts. To date, all of the chairlifts at Smuggler's Notch are Hall doubles, which have been kept in excellent condition thanks to modifications with Doppelmayr-CTEC parts.

Visitor Memories
"My Childhood memories 95% start with "While at Smuggs".... My parents moved back to VT when I was 4, in the shadow of the mountain in Cambridge. Unfortunately my first year memory skiing is breaking my left leg on the Sterling Practice slope. This was before the lift was put in and was a tow-rope. How we hated the rope..... My mom would drop off my 3 older brothers and I in the AM with a bag lunch and pick us up at when the lifts closed. A season's pass for Cambridge residents was $25 and my parents wanted their money's worth.....seriously. Tree skiing while being chased by the ski patrol, building jumps, first tracks when it snowed heavy, and so much more fun. This continued through LUHS, VTC/UVM and working at IBM in Essex. While I may ski a bit slower now and then....my favorite trail combo is still Upper FIS, Lower Glades, Goat Path, Lower lift line. Back in the day, I would head to the chair for more. Now I head to the bar...:) I hope the next generation enjoys as much as I did. JW"

"My memories skiing Madonna Mt. go back to the early 1970's Skied Madonna several times. Loved that it was not like other places where the NYC sophisticates invaded (Stowe and the like.) If you wanted to be challenged there were plenty of minimally groomed trails back then. I recall having a fantastic basket lunch at the mountain top where what appeared to be a frozen lake oe bowl. There was a narrow trail that connected Madonna to Stowe, You literally could go up slope at Madonna and ski down Stowe ( though I never tried it.) I remember lodging at the Smugglers Notch Inn. Their breakfast was fantastic; home made cinnamon buns were out of this world. A small bar in the basement decorated in alpine wood was a perfect place to tell tales of the runs we took during an afternoon of skiing Madonna. WOW talk about a time travel through memory lane ! Forever a warm spot in my heart. "
