Does anyone know if the gate to Smuggs has been opened?

A friend who works at Stowe said it was still gated when I spoke with him yesterday.

judgeing from the photo that I saw you will want micro spikes to hike in.

How far is the hike in, we are on a little bit of a tight time frame?

Just got back from the boulders. Road is closed but mostly snow free except some large patches towards the top on the Jeff side. I don't know what the Stowe side looks like but I expect it's a little snowier. Boulders are dry but many landings are still snowed in.
