If you’re holding an Indy Pass, this winter just got even better. With Burke Mountain Resort officially joining the Indy Pass family, skiers now have another incredible reason to explore Vermont’s Northeast Kingdom — and there’s no better place to stay than The Wildflower Inn.

Here’s why pairing Indy Pass skiing with a stay at The Wildflower creates the perfect Vermont winter getaway.

What Is the Indy Pass?

The Indy Pass is a skier-favorite alternative to mega ski passes, offering access to independently owned mountains around the world. Passholders receive:

• Two full days of skiing at each partner resort
• Access to more than 250 independent ski areas
• Optional Indy+ upgrades with no blackout dates
• A focus on authentic, uncrowded ski experiences

And, Burke Mountain is part of that adventure.

Why Ski Burke Mountain?

Tucked into Vermont’s Northeast Kingdom, Burke is the definition of classic New England skiing — uncrowded trails, big mountain vertical, and genuine local character.

What makes Burke special:

• 2,011 feet of vertical drop
• 54 trails across varied terrain
• Nearly half the mountain dedicated to intermediate cruising runs
• Average snowfall around 150 inches annually

Burke has long been known as a skier’s mountain — challenging enough for experts but incredibly enjoyable for families and intermediates alike. Indy Pass holders simply stop by Guest Relations and redeem their day on the hill — no complicated reservations required .

Even better? The mountain has intentionally preserved its independent, community-driven vibe in an era of large corporate resorts, making it exactly the kind of experience Indy Pass was built for .

Stay Close — But Experience More

While slopeside lodging exists, many Indy travelers are discovering the magic of staying just minutes away at The Wildflower Inn.

Located a short scenic drive from Burke Mountain, The Wildflower offers something slopeside hotels can’t:

Space to Relax After Skiing

After a full day carving turns, return to:

• Cozy rooms and suites with countryside views
• Quiet surroundings away from base-area crowds
• Spectacular Northeast Kingdom sunsets
• A true Vermont inn experience

Dining & Atmosphere

Skip crowded resort dining lines and enjoy a relaxed meal, craft drinks, and warm hospitality — the perfect way to end a ski day.

A True Destination Experience

Your trip becomes more than skiing:

• Snowshoeing and winter walks right outside your door
• Stargazing in Vermont’s famously dark skies
• Easy access to East Burke Village shops and après spots

Why Indy Pass Skiers Love the Northeast Kingdom

Indy Pass travelers tend to value authenticity — discovering places that feel real, welcoming, and uncrowded. That’s exactly what the Northeast Kingdom delivers.

You’ll find:

• Friendly lift lines (often short or nonexistent)
• Local character instead of corporate sameness
• Stunning winter landscapes
• A slower pace that reminds you why you fell in love with skiing

Burke Mountain embodies this spirit — and The Wildflower Inn extends it beyond the slopes.

Make It Your Indy Basecamp

Many Indy Pass holders plan multi-mountain road trips, and Burke makes an ideal Vermont stop. Staying at The Wildflower Inn gives you:

✅ Easy access to Burke Mountain
✅ Comfortable lodging away from busy resort bases
✅ A relaxing retreat between ski days
✅ The charm of Vermont hospitality

Whether you’re chasing powder, exploring independent ski areas, or simply looking for a winter escape that feels different, this pairing is hard to beat.
