My wife and I ski regularly at Burke Mt...On weekdays, we roll out of bed from our nearby house as late as we like and are on the Mt. by 10...and its all yours...There are no lines, no crowds, even the celebrated ski academy (Mikaela Shiffrin trained there) has its own dedicated lift and trail. When it is fully open (takes a bit longer than the mega resorts) the upper mountain provides a sweet variety of well groomed dark blues that tend to go straight down the mountain and are therefor quite consistently challenging for the average intermediate. I can't speak for the quality of the tree skiing, nor the ungroomed blacks, but suspect that they don't compare to big brother Jay; 40 minutes or so up the road. But if you have young uns with you or are a novice adult, the lower mountain is one of the more perfect places to develop skills. There is a moving carpet for beginners (not teeny-tiny either), followed by a T-bar which opens a substantial novice slope. Once you master that run, you can take the lower mountain chair, which opens a wide but lengthy green, perfect for further skill development with even two light blues available. The whole is perhaps among the best beginning to novice area in Vermont and the main chair is modern and fast. Combine all of this with being able to observe the training of some of the hottest, young skiers in the world, a new large scale hotel situated right between the upper and lower mountain and you have the perfect recipe for a family ski week. And weekends? Yeah, there are a few more people, you might have to wait 45 seconds to get on the lift.

Mount Pisgah

A 2,751-foot summit that offers a clearly marked seven-mile, round-trip hiking trail.

Reviewed By Trekandmore - Hanover, United States

This is a wonderful little hike (under 5 miles) up a mountain with a great view point (the NORTH spur view is best) and further on good southern views.
