Burke's New Owners and New Start (2025)

[KustyTheKlown]

Thanks for the detailed post.

Despite the existence of the hotel Burke is and will always be just a ski area, not a resort. And that’s fine. These issues all sound pretty expected, and I’d just never visit Burke and stay on site and eat all my meals on site and etc. it’s not for all that - its a scrappy ski area in northeastern Vermont.

The ticketing issue sounds like shit tho

Thanks for the detailed report, I hope you send it to the new management as well. I am willing to give them some slack in this their first season. But by next year I will be disappointed if they don’t iron out some of the kinks, for instance I shouldn’t have to stand in a long at the ticket booth (delaying everyone else in line as well as myself) to use my Berkshire East pass, I should be able to go straight to lift. Anyone know if Burkes RFID system is compatible with the one used at Berkshire East ?

For sure. I'm from the NEK originally, so we stayed there to be close to family. I got in some good skiing. I think it is a great value. My wife and daughter were not happy with the hot water situation with good reason. I got mostly decent showers, but was in early. I did get a cold shower on NYE that was not fun.

As I said, I hope that those who are new to Burke will not be disappointed. Many family members and friends (and I) repeated the point that we want the Mountain to survive and thrive.
