In 2006, Smugglers’ Notch was one of only two businesses in Vermont to be named an Environmental Leader and, in 2008, Smugglers’ received the Governor’s Award in recognition of its carbon footprint reduction initiatives. As Thomke points out, the environment is their greatest asset as a ski resort. So they work hard to keep it healthy and thus keep their business healthy, too.
