Burke Mountain Ski resort is a mid-size ski resort open to skiing and snowboarding in northeast Vermont (aka Vermont's "Northeast Kingdom" ). It is located on Burke Mountain and is home to Burke Mountain Academy, a ski academy.
In May 2012, Burke Mountain Resort was purchased by the owners of nearby Jay Peak Resort.[1] The new ownership has improved Burke's snow-making capability. Burke Mountain Resort is a ski in/ski out resort that is positioned at the midway point of the mountain. The hotel has 116 rooms, and is open year-round. Behind the hotel is a mid-lodge called the Bear Den which features a full-service bar, soups and chili, and live music on Saturdays.
