Whether the Dump Road drop-off is open right now — it's closed Tuesdays — plus what Vermont's Act 148 makes you sort out of the trash: recyclables, food scraps, and yard and clean wood.

If you let your place to visitors, it lays out what the town requires — the $100 registration, the April 30 renewal, the fire-department lock box and the 45-minute responsible-person rule — and estimates the 10% lodging tax (Vermont's 9% plus Stowe's 1%) to add to a booking.

A plain-language planner for the crawl up Mountain Road on busy days. Work out your parking — free after 2 p.m., free with a full car of four, free on weekdays, or the $30 day rate — or park free at a feeder lot and ride the free shuttle up. It also covers the seasonal Smugglers' Notch closure and the fall-foliage traffic, when there's no shuttle and no paid parking. Prices and the shuttle operator reset each season, so it says plainly to confirm before you go.

Route 108 over the Notch closes every winter and reopens in spring; even when it's open, it's barred to over-length trucks, buses and RVs. The new tool works out whether the Notch is open or closed for the season from today's date, lists who can't drive it, and links VTrans's official status. It opened for 2026 in early May.

Three tools to start: a property-tax estimator that turns your assessed value into a plain, itemised bill (with the 2024 reappraisal and the CLA explained), a live gauge for the Little River at Moscow after the floods of 2023 and 2024, and a who-to-call list — including where to give birth now that Copley's birthing center has closed.
