There’s a new chapter unfolding in the Northeast Kingdom — and it begins at the top of Burke Mountain.

Recently, Burke Mountain was officially sold to new owners, marking a turning point for the beloved ski area and the wider community. After years of uncertainty, locals and visitors alike are breathing a collective sigh of relief. This sale isn’t just a transaction — it’s a transformation. And for those of us who live, work, and play in the shadow of Burke, it feels like the dawn of something truly exciting.

A Sale That Signals Stability

For years, Burke Mountain operated under the weight of a complicated past — one that often overshadowed its incredible natural assets and passionate community. Now, with new ownership committed to responsible stewardship and long-term vision, there’s a renewed sense of optimism. The fresh start promises stability for employees, opportunities for local businesses, and a revitalized experience for visitors.

Why This Matters for the NEK

Burke Mountain has always been more than just a ski destination. It’s an anchor for the Northeast Kingdom economy — a four-season playground that supports jobs, sparks tourism, and draws outdoor lovers from near and far. With new investment and fresh leadership, we expect to see improvements to infrastructure, enhanced guest services, and expanded opportunities for year-round recreation.

More importantly, this sale has rekindled a sense of possibility. It’s a reminder that the NEK’s strength lies in its people, its places, and the power of perseverance.

A Win for Locals and Visitors Alike

For local families, business owners, and lifelong fans of the mountain, this new era brings hope — and a chance to dream big again. For visitors, it means an even better experience: better trails, better facilities, and the same authentic Vermont welcome we’re known for.

And nestled just down the road, The Wildflower Inn has been part of that welcome for decades. We’ve watched generations of skiers, hikers, and bikers fall in love with Burke — and we’ve been proud to be part of their stories. From cozy stays after a day on the slopes to summer evenings filled with live music and mountain views, we’ve always believed in this mountain and its magic.

Looking Ahead

As Burke Mountain steps confidently into its next chapter, so do we. The Wildflower Inn remains rooted in the same values that have guided us from the start: community, hospitality, and a deep love for this land. We’re thrilled to be part of a revitalized NEK and we can’t wait to see what the future holds — not just for Burke, but for all of us who call this region home.

So whether you’re planning your next ski weekend, dreaming of a summer trail escape, or simply looking for a place that feels like home — now is the time to come back to Burke. The mountain is ready. The Wildflower is waiting. And the Northeast Kingdom is blooming with new possibilities.
