Vermont 108 through Smugglers Notch was closed during an early season snowstorm in late October 2008 and will remain closed until next spring. The steep mountain pass between Stowe Mountain Resort and Smugglers’ Notch Resort in Cambridge is closed each winter when driving conditions make it impassable.

Smuggler’s Notch usually opens for the season in early May. As of May 1, 2003, the portion of Vermont 108 that runs through Smuggler’s Notch was covered with 4 feet of ice and snow. It’s been a cold, snowy winter with a late thaw. State road authorities hope for a mid-May opening. (BFP, 5/1/03)
