Considering the keys pointed to by Zeke, I also like winter_service=no.
There are a few US or state highways in CO which close, the tagging is
not consistent.
US 34, Independence pass
https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/627645541#map=17/39.10849/-106.55914
"motor_vehicle"="conditional=no @ winter"
US 34, Rocky mtn NP, way 329057779
has it embedded in the name and also:
access:conditional=no @ Oct 14th - May 31st
I'd like to point out that many of the roads in the rocky mtns are not
maintained in the winter. That goes for almost every forest service
road, and many county roads. I think it's proper to leave these
without an explicit winter tag with the implicit understanding that safe
passage is not guaranteed.

This looks like something that there still is not consensus on.
Here are couple of roads that are not plowed in the winter in my area
of Vermont. Both are tagged differently:
Lincoln Gap Road: https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/19729533
VT 108 through Smugglers Notch: https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/48775843
Looks like we have a few different overlapping keys:
* access:conditional
<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Conditional_restrictions&uselang=en-US>
* seasonal
<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:seasonal?uselang=en-US>
* winter_service
<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:winter%20service?uselang=en-US>
winter_service=no looks like the simplest option to me, but not
knowing how the data will be used, the safest bet is probably to put
/"closed in winter"/ right in the name as is the case with VT 108.
It's not correct data modeling, but it will mean people looking at a
map are sure to see it.

Yeah, I'm not surprised that a road that goes literally through
Jefferson Notch isn't plowed in the winter; the road's high point
in the notch (aka "col" or "saddle," the diminutive of "pass") is
3,009 feet (917 m), only barely below the height of Mount Mitten
(929 m) which the road passes, and lower than Currier Mtn (838 m)
just beyond. Yeah that's not high in young mountains, but at this
latitude, that altitude gets plenty snow. I expect even the winter
snowmobile path through the notch should be attempted only by
parties of multiple experienced operators prepared for mountains'
changeable conditions.
(I'm guessing the gating/bollards will get upgraded so that only
snowmobiles, Cats, and emergency 4WD/6WD even /can/ enter during
winter.)
In the summer, this road will provide a lovely if challenging
shortcut between US 2 and US 302, of which there are precious few
in the environs of Mt Washington and the Presidential Range of the
White Mountains.

Our way does not (as of this writing) show a tag indicating
seasonally variable access.
Proposed tagwinter_service=no
<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Tag:winter_service%3Dno&action=edit&redlink=1>
isn't quite strong enough but would be a start.
What is the right way to tag a road which is 3 season dramatic
automobile mountain short-cut and one-season snowmobile trail?
