# 4Small Ski Area in Vermont
All ReviewsOverview
Nestled in the heart of the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont, you will find (or discover) Burke Mountain. Known for its view of Willoughby Gap–Mount Pisgah to the east and Mount Hor to the west-skiers and riders will find classic Vermont style skiing across 270 acres of narrow, winding trails, steep pitches and acres of tree skiing. With an annual snowfall of 217 inches, Burke features a vertical rise of 2,011 ft., 50 trails and glades and three terrain parks for freestylers. Home to Burke Mountain Academy and now named as an official training and development site for the US Ski Team, you just may found yourself sharing a chair with an Olympic or soon-to-be Olympic skier training on some of the best terrain in New England.
