" 1 2 3 SHRED!"

I always heard about Burke, but never had a guide. Its on my list.

burke is a fun mountain, cheap, great trees, but it really seems small.

**iceman** · 12-05-2007, 10:47 PM

It's steep and gets as much snow as anyone but Jay and is never crowded. They could use the money, buy a ticket and ski Burke for a day, it doesn't suck.

And who the hell wants to ride a high speed detachable Poma lift.

I had some killer pow days there in my days at BMA. It has some killer terrain for a small mountain.
Can't wait to take a pilgrimage back there some day.

I spent a season in northern Vermont, had a pass at Burke.

It is actually a pretty cool hill, as others have said - never (EVER) crowded, and the BMA kids skitter around on the ice all the time.

I've had a few downright good days there.

I had one scary day there, though, there was a "powerline" that we skied(not sure if it is legal or not, skier's right off the top, iirc, but it has been ~20 years), anyway, there was a fair bit of snow and the bigass wire was within reach. Easily.

Dunno. Beyond thinking I might get electrocuted while skiing, I thought Burke was rad.

I disagree flat landers need to ski at a hill with the feeling that they are at a ski area that has "IT" like K-Mart, Loon, Stratton etc... I mean whats the point of going skiing if you can't strut your new gear for everyone to see.

Not to mention they have "Burkie the Bear":

OK. Edited, resized and linked to a useable website.

Burke is cool, skied there for free one year about 4-5 yrs ago, they closed but the snow was so good afterwards they re-opened two weeks later and let everyone ski for free.

**stump832** · 12-06-2007, 11:06 PM

Burke est muy caliente. Si.

**tahoe2stroker** · 12-07-2007, 12:21 AM

I spent four seasons at Burke and Jay. Burke does not suck..really fun mountain..

I bet 29 seconds is about how long you'd last.

Burke = Happiness in the mouth like when you drink good beer.

Had a season pass there for a few years. Great local shots in the woods, super quiet, good burgers. I still have my "Northern Star" sticker on my helmet.

To repeat: Go and buy a ticket. You won't be disappointed, they could use the moolah! Yay Burke!
