Burke Mountain Ski Trail Map 1 Layered Wood Wall Art
by Mountaincut
Vermont's Northeast Kingdom secret, now on your wall. Mountaincut's Burke Mountain Ski Trail Map is a layered wooden wall art piece featuring hand-traced ski trails expertly laser cut from premium birch and/or walnut plywood, a handcrafted tribute to the uncrowded, unpretentious mountain that has been quietly producing Olympic champions since 1956.
The Northeast Kingdom's Hidden Gem, Captured in Wood
Tucked into East Burke in Vermont's remote Northeast Kingdom, just seven miles off Interstate 91, Burke Mountain is the kind of place real skiers seek out. Operating since 1956 and always independent, Burke rises from a base of 1,210 feet to a summit of 3,267 feet, delivering a substantial 2,011-foot vertical drop across 270 acres, with 55 trails, 15 glades, and over 100 acres of tree skiing served by five lifts including two high-speed detachable quads. With an average of 217 inches of snowfall and snowmaking growing across the mountain, Burke delivers reliable conditions with a relaxed, crowd-light feel that has become increasingly rare in New England. In April 2025, the mountain was purchased by Bear Den Partners, local skiers and race enthusiasts operating alongside the Schaefer family of Berkshire East, who pledged to invest as much as $20 million in snowmaking, new lifts, and terrain expansion while keeping Burke authentic. This handcrafted map captures every trail and glade across both the lower and upper mountain in beautiful layered wood relief.
Every Trail, Every Glade, Every Memory
Burke splits neatly into two distinct sections, and the layout is part of what makes it work so well. The lower mountain, served by the Sherburne Express, offers 580 vertical feet of beginner trails and gentle glades in a pod so mellow that faster skiers simply avoid it, giving newcomers a genuinely relaxing place to learn. The Enchanted Forest glade here is one of the best places anywhere to get comfortable skiing trees. Above the Mid-Burke Lodge, the Mid-Burke Express high-speed quad reaches the summit in about eight minutes, opening up Burke's real character: wide groomers and steep, fast trails with awesome fall lines, undulating terrain that rolls and pitches without flat spots or long runouts. The famous East Bowl requires a traverse to the remote eastern boundary and skis like a rollercoaster when left ungroomed. Burke's glades are legendary, with over 100 acres of tree skiing that hold snow beautifully. Three terrain parks and a 30-kilometre Nordic network at the Dashney Nordic Center round things out. And of course, there's Burke Mountain Academy, the preeminent ski racing school in the country, alma mater of Mikaela Shiffrin and more than 30 Olympians.
Exceptional Craftsmanship, Made in the USA
All Mountaincut wooden trail maps are precision laser cut and etched, hand-stained, and finished in the United States using birch and/or walnut plywood. The two-layer construction creates a rich, dimensional look where the mountain's ridgeline, glades, and trail network stand out in beautiful relief. Hanging hardware comes preinstalled, so your new trail map will be on display in minutes.
Because each piece is crafted from real wood, no two maps are exactly alike, with natural variations in the grain and stain giving every piece its own character, just like a quiet powder morning in the Northeast Kingdom.
