Smugglers Notch Tours 

A True Alpine Adventure

 

As winter sets in several of the high mountain passes are closed to vehicle traffic for the winter.  Smugglers Notch is through the highest peaks in the State. When many places in Vermont are lacking the snow, Smuggler Notch gets the snow and retains it.  This makes it the go to place for alpine training and recreation. 

 

Rob, owner of October Siberians, has been running in the Notch since the beginning of his sled dog lifestyle.  As with any adventure sport you learn from the thrills and spills of taking on the challenge.  This is the most technically challenging run we offer, and Robs pulls out all the tricks to keep the adrenaline levels in check.  As the passenger and second drive the clients also needs to make the right moves to keep us upright.  When the decent through the switchbacks are executed well, the hoots and hollers are earned. 

​

Due to the challenges of this run clients are strongly advise to bring and wear a helmets, and dress for alpine weather conditions.

Smuggler's Notch Tours:  are offered as a back up location, when snow is not cooperating and can be requested  in advance and when multiply trips are request.  We suggest Wednesday to not compete with weekend crowds  Meeting location is in Stowe Vt. where Rt108 ends, just pass Stowe Mt. Resort
