Deal of the Month


Hump Day doesn't have to feel like a hurdle to overcome especially if you just take the day off from work or plan a mid-week vacation.


The best part of Wednesdays might just be this great deal from Burke Mountain. Introducing LL Bean Wednesdays where everyone can ski for just $25 on any non-holiday Wednesday!


New ownership at the mountain has led to some great improvements including the addition of seasoned leaders with extensive backgrounds in the ski industry.


Mother Nature has also been a big help this year with early and abundant snowfall. Between that and man-made snow, the slopes are in great shape for skiing and boarding.


Enjoy the Season!

Unpack & Unwind


Lodging choices abound in the area where you can make yourself at home and find winter adventures just out the back door or a quick drive away.
