On April 8th, 2024, Burke Mountain is in position for "100% totality" during the solar eclipse. This will be the last time the Mid Burke Express is spinning for the winter season, so join us as we watch this once in a lifetime view.WHAT IS A SOLAR ECLIPSE?
A solar eclipse happens when, at just the right moment, the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth.
WHAT CAN I EXPECT?
During a total solar eclipse the Moon completely blocks the Sun’s light for a few minutes. It gets so dark that it can look like night time. In an effort to keep all skiers and riders safe during the eclipse, we will be unloading all lifts at 3:20pm and reloading lifts at 3:40pm. Foot passengers will not be allowed on the lift.
WHERE CAN I WATCH THE ECLIPSE?
The eclipse will be visible from many spots around the resort; if you're looking to watch the eclipse on-mountain we will have designated viewing spots at the Summit and the Pavilion. We will also be partying it up on the Hotel Patio with Nix Mix DJ from 2pm-4pm.
CAN I LOOK DIRECTLY AT THE ECLIPSE?
NO! Eye safety during a total solar eclipse is imperative. You cannot use your plain sunglasses or goggles as eye protection during this time. Learn more about eye safety during an eclipse from our friends at NASA here.
We can't believe another season is coming to an end, thank you for a great winter!
