The Indy Pass, precisely
For the 2026/27 season, Burke Mountain, Jay Peak and Smugglers' Notch are all Indy Pass partners. The pass gives you two lift days at each partner mountain, plus a third day at 25% off, with no blackout dates at Smuggs (advance reservations required there). It is not unlimited skiing at three mountains, but it is a real reason to build one winter trip around all three, and we are 8 minutes from Burke.
Drive times from the inn (Google Maps, September 2026; allow more in winter weather): Burke Mountain 8 minutes, Jay Peak about an hour via I-91, Smugglers' Notch about an hour and a half via I-91. Route 108 over the Notch closes in winter, so plan on the highway.

Winter, in every direction
Downhill is the headline, but it isn't the whole trip. Kingdom Trails grooms a skate and classic Nordic network on Darling Hill, and Burke's Dashney Nordic Center adds more groomed terrain and designated uphill-skinning routes. Kingdom Trails also keeps a groomed winter fat-biking network you can pedal onto from our property. The VAST snowmobile trail runs straight through our 300 acres, so sledders ride out from their rooms, with parking for trucks, trailers and RVs. Lake Willoughby, a scenic drive up the road, is one of the East's storied ice-climbing destinations, with guide services running trips all season. Snowshoeing and sledding start right out the door.
The parts no lift ticket covers
Breakfast with a view toward Burke Mountain, which catches the sunrise from our side of the valley. Dinner and drinks in the pub every day of the year, because our restaurant never closes for the season. And on a clear night, Heaven's Bench under a dark Northeast Kingdom sky.
