One of Burke Mountain's great features is its location, an unspoiled wilderness area that's renowned for its natural beauty... even among Vermonters.
Although Burke is in a pristine area, there are plenty of services, restaurants and activities nearby, and the ski area is only seven miles from exit 23 off Interstate 91.
This makes Burke one of New England's easiest resorts to get to - 3 hours from Boston, 3.5 hours from Hartford, Conn., and 5.5 hours from New York City.
And when you get to Burke, you won't find any long lift lines. Located in the heart of the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont, this 2,000-foot vertical-drop mountain also serves as the training mountain of Burke Mountain Academy.
