Шаблон:Infobox mountain

Hogback Mountain is a mountain in southern Vermont, United States, in the town of Marlboro, Vermont, just north of Vermont Route 9. Its main peak is Шаблон:Convert high. The area is well known for expansive views from Route 9.

Hogback Mountain Ski Area was located across Route 9 on Mount Olga and relied exclusively on T-bars for ascent. It operated from 1946 to 1986, using only natural snow, and blamed the cost of insurance for causing it to close.[1] Countless local children learned to ski at the ski area, especially because free skiing was offered weekly to students from the nearby Marlboro School for years.

Roughly Шаблон:Convert was purchased and given to the town of Marlboro as conservation land, known as Hogback Mountain Conservation Area.[2] Some of the old ski lifts remain on the property, along with various buildings, including a fire lookout tower. Trails are semi-clear, as volunteers continue to keep some open and available to cross country skiers, backcountry skiers, hikers, and snowshoers.
