+ About this map
Burke Mountain Academy, the first ski academy in the United States, was founded in 1970 to train exactly one student: Martha Coughlin, who had approached coach Warren Witherell asking for year-round training to make the U.S. Ski Team. The school built around her request has since produced 40 Olympians, Mikaela Shiffrin among them, which goes some way toward explaining why a quiet, uncrowded hill in Vermont’s Northeast Kingdom grooms its fall-line trails quite so firm and fast.
Beyond the race hill, Burke’s 55 trails include classic narrow New England runs, natural glades, and more than 2,000 feet of vertical, all served by lifts that rarely have lines. It’s some of the most authentic, no-frills skiing in New England. The contour map shows Burke standing largely alone above the Northeast Kingdom, a single bold peak among rolling hills.
