History
Haystack in Wilmington, Vermont first ran in 1964-65, reaching a summit of 3,445 feet with a 1,400-foot vertical drop. It closed once in 1980-81, reopened in 1984-85, and ran its last full public season in 2004-05. It was subsequently redeveloped as the Hermitage Club, a private members-only resort with new Doppelmayr and SkyTrac lifts, and public access is now limited to a small daily allocation for local residents. NOTE: this row supersedes two separate rows in the original table, 'Haystack' (id 122) and 'Hermitage Club' (id 168), which describe the same mountain.
