Greetings from Burke, VT

January 2022

Happy New Year!

Snow is here and it's a go for skiing, Nordic trekking and fat-biking! We don't have quite enough white stuff for snowmobiling just yet, but soon enough that will happen. In the meantime, bundle up and embrace the beauty of winter in Vermont. Here's hoping for a healthy and happy 2022 for us all!

Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow!
