With every inch of its 2011' of vertical, Burke Mountain believes in all that made Vermont skiing famous. So we've foregone wider, flatter trails, and the wider, flatter skiers they cater to, for trails and glades that respect the mountain's natural contours. And we don't rate tough blues as blacks or anything close to a green as a blue. Up... North, you earn it. Not everybody gets a trophy, a mentality we observed watching more than 50 Olympians learn to be great at the world-renowned Burke Mountain Academy. But we want to exclude no one. So if you can't ski or ride any of our 50 trails or 100+ acres of glades, we'll teach you. After all, we believe everyone should experience what Vermont skiing and riding is all about.

The new high speed lift to the summit is awesome! For a year without much snow, Burke has done a great job - blue skies, no crowds, beautiful views - a great place to ski!

The lifts don't open until 9am. To get first run, go to the mid-Burke lodge. It got really skied out by 11am! But no lift lines to speak of compared to other areas.

Great Mountain. Good bang for the buck. No real lift lines to speak of and trail conditions were good. Totally enjoyed it. My son's instructor was awesome. He was skiing the lower mountain the same day.

Long trip North to ski on a North facing mountain. lots of flats, so if you don't know the area you have to skate a lot to get to the lift. Wasn't great.

Burke's new high speed lift is awesome. No long lift lines, friendly people and plenty of mountain for skiers of all skill levels! Love it.

My boyfriend introduced me to Burke Mountain and I have to say that it's a definite hidden jewel. Mostly local folk and they are very friendly to converse with. I started snowboarding last year and practically learned on Burke. It's a versatile mountain and wouldn't pick another mountain to learn on. Even some of the black diamonds with fresh powder is doable for beginners. Love Burke!

Burke is my go-to mountain. In addition to great snow, no crowds, and excellent terrain, it's a great value.
I love the glades and challenging runs but it's also an excellent family mountain.
The Tamarack restaurant on the second floor of the base lodge has really good food for only a few dollars more than cafeteria food. Stuff your face with bleu cheese potato chips, a burger, and a pint of Trout River.

We found this fabulous glade next to Doug's Drop. Burke has the Best Glades in NE, but dont tell anyone.

Head for glades, you will have to push at bottom to lift the glades are sweet, good snow and long trails.

Great experience with Liftopia and Burke. Have always had great times there with great conditions and staff.

I'd echo all of the other positive comments-- it's amazing to find a mountain with such variety and good, challenging trails so empty of skiers and with such an easy going vibe. Longest lift line was...45 seconds. Granted I was mainly there mid-week, but even on Sunday it was quiet, with plenty of room on slopes, no hyper-aggressive types, and on the slooow quad lift to the top, plenty of time to talk to people on the way up!
I could see the 12-15 minute lift ride being a real drag in seriously cold weather, but in March, with temps not dipping below 28 degrees, well worth it -- just watch those empty trails and anticipate having runs virtually to yourself!
