Flood Update
It’s been a week since the devastating flooding that took place across Vermont. Luckily Smuggs made it through the storm with minimal damage. We avoided flood waters at the Resort with all major roads to the Resort passable at this time. Our guests are currently experiencing the fun, adventure, and excitement that only a Smuggs vacation can offer!
Unfortunately, many of our friends and neighbors were not so lucky, and our deepest sympathies go out to anyone affected by the recent disaster. We made it through unscathed, so we were able to help members of our community with food and lodging during and after the storm. Thank you to our owners for offering their units to those in need. As always, members of the Smuggs community step up to help others when it matters.
For those seeking ways to get involved with the ongoing relief efforts please visit Lamoille Way of Lamoille County for more information.
If you are in the area, join us for a Block Party in Jeffersonville, Saturday, July 22.

I’m sure most of you saw the news from the Stowe Reporter about potential plans to build a gondola connecting Smuggs with Stowe. This is something we’re looking into and are in the very early stages of exploring. We will be transparent with the process and will plan to share any additional information as it becomes available. For all of the updates we have at this time please visit our Community Connector page.

The season started off a little slow, but then it made a strong come back. March was our best snowfall month with a total of 71 inches and coming in second was January with 61 inches. Our season snowfall total was 223 inches. I want to thank all of wonderful employees and everyone who came to visit us here at Smuggs this year! Time flies when you are having fun and that’s why spring came so quickly. It’s always hard for me to say goodbye to the winter season and yes I’m already thinking about next year. I enjoy all the seasons, but I get the most skiing and riding in the winter. I wish everyone a happy and healthy summer. I look forward to seeing your smiling faces again Friday, November 24th, when we start the 2023/2024 Season!
