Hogback Mountain Ski Area, Brattleboro, VT

Hogback Mountain is an abandoned ski area approximately 16 miles west of Brattleboro, Vermont, accessed by VT Route 9.

History from http://www.nelsap.org/vt/hogback.html: Hogback Mountain was a ski resort from 1946 to 1986. Increasing insurance rates in combination with competition from nearby resorts led to the area closing in 1986. The Hogback Mountain Conservation Association purchased the land in 2010 and transferred a conservation easement to the Town of Marlboro. The land is now open to the public.

These photos were taken along the Tower Trail along Hogback Mountain.
