If you're looking for some peace & quiet before the holidays or are planning a turkey day getaway with family, consider a visit to Burke this month. Otherwise, it's not too soon to plan for a winter vacation. Although it may be difficult to visit us if you live out of state, for Vermonters, it's time to explore your own backyard and plan some visits here for unpretentious skiing, fat biking through the snowy woods, ice fishing, ice climbing or explorations via snowmobile.
