Skiing at Burke Mountain

It is getting late in the season, and I wanted to try another mountain I had not been to and Burke Mountain seemed to fit the bill.

My buddy Jay and took the two-hour ride up to see what it was all about. Temps were in the 30’s and I did not need to wear a burka under my helmet.

There are two different lots you can park at. The base lot and the Midway lot. We choose to park at the bottom.

We went in to get our tickets and boot up. The lodge was pretty simple. It was maple week in Vermont so there was a maple vendor there selling all kinds of maple products.

We headed over to the Sherburne Express lift up. The only other lift running was the T-Bar but that was for racers to ride up for the races that were happening.

The snow was decent. Little to know ice and very carve able. It was actually great conditions for this late in the season.

I will say there is not a big difference between Vermont blue box trails and Vermont black Dimond trail. Those blues are legit!

There was a cool shelter building with a fireplace off one of the trails that was cool to stop at.

We stopped at both lodges. The fist one at the Midway, for an Irish Coffee and the second time down at the base for lunch. The food was really good there the hospitality was great too.

After lunch we did a few more runs till about 3:30pm. I really would like to come back to Burke when all the trails are open. This was a great first experience.
