Exploring the Abandoned Hogback Mountain Ski Area in Marlboro Vermont - CRAZY FINDS! 

They say that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. What may seem an eyesore to one person, just might be a beautiful masterpiece to another. There are places beloved by communities and protected in the hearts of those that hold their memories of its tattered hallways and decayed rooms dear. This is the way that we feel when we explore places that have been forgotten by time. Left to rot and decay and only holding the silent whispers of what once was. We know that there are people out there with malicious intent toward these places that we venture into. It saddens us when we see the filth and destruction they leave behind, but we want to make something very clear… We are explorers and lovers of history. We in no way, shape or form condone the criminal activities that take place in the historical decaying places that we document. Social media has brought many of these places to the limelight, but the intention is to show the beauty and mystery of abandonment. Not to invite trouble. Trouble will find its way on its own and to say that the peaceful documentation of these places leads to criminal activity, is mind blowing. We have met so many amazing fellow explorers in our travels and are so thankful and humbled by the positive responses we have received. We know that this type of exploration is not for everyone…many people don’t understand why we find such beauty in decay, we can only explain it as a beautiful journey into the past. We invite you to watch our explores and come along as we visit these amazing places. As for the criminal activity that occurs, those individuals are responsible for their own actions. It is a terrible part of our society, but reality, nonetheless. Thank you for taking the time to read this and for loving this location just as much as we do. We hope that through this video, the memories held within will remain.

I grew up in Marlboro, spent a lot of time on the mountain. Hogback gave the school free equipment, lessons, hot cocoa and donuts on Monday afternoons. I skied there and worked from 1961 to1977 even after the asking ended. Many fond memories.

Enjoyed many runs on Hogback in the 50's. Every Easter skiers dressed up in costumes. Dressed as the Easter bunny to the Mad Hatter. At the end of the day had sugar (boiled maple syrup) on snow.

Reliving history, walking through time as it now stands still. One can only imagine the cold winter days, hot chocolate and unbelievable snowfallen views from the tops of the mountain. Those buildings were sooo cool and the tower was incredible! I know climbing up one your heart goes pitter patter all the way up but the overlook across the forest is absolutely amazing! Thanks for bringing us on this journey ☺️🌲

It was a great place to grow up I learned how to ski on that mountain This video brought back a lot of found memories my brothers worked there when we still lived in Marlboro,

Hello Jenn and Marcel!! You all find the most beautiful and amazing places! I remember my grandmother crocheting dresses to put on the joy bottles because they were colored... and bought the heads and arms and turned them into dolls... makes me wish i still had one! Those buildings are so cool... what a fabulous explore from my fav people!

You 2.. You Two.. You II.. You §.. Are Awesome And I Love Your Exolores.. 😄

love finding abandoned houses like that , behind the wildrerness and off the beaten path ... very cool find 🕵

It's a great drive there from either side !

What cool find hot coco vent pipe for the roof. Lol y’all are too funny together marcel push button and it comes on lol 😂 wow and that view!!! Great job guys!!!

I’m rewatching your videos and on this one at 28:50 where you found an empty CB walkie talkie, my late husband and I have the same exact one. 2 of them actually. They’re in a dresser draw back in their boxes cuz we got bored with CB. Lol. I forgot all about them until I saw the box. I wonder if they still work? 🤔🤷🏻‍♀️.

Love love

Lots of cool finds there but the old Kelvinator fridge is my favorite!

Wait... no way... Jen, are you really 50, or was Marcel just kidding around when he said that? I'm 50 also (will be 51 in January)... and all this time, since I've been watching you guys, I was under the impression that I was WAY older than you. I had you pegged around late 30s/early 40s. LOL, you're much more adventurous than I am at this age that's for sure. You go girl! Great explore! I've been up through Marlboro, VT a couple times through the years and had no idea that ski area was even there. You guys always manage to find the coolest stuff hidden out in the woods! (And as soon as I saw that tower, I KNEW you were goin' to the top!) Valerie.

Y’all are too cute! Very neat little diner place. Seems bigger on the outside than the inside lol. Maybe it’s that’s red paint 😂 That is really neat! Not sure what the cables are for unless it’s for one of those cable cars. Such a neat place to explore! Very cool!

I was scared for you climbing that tower. Lol

Cool find. The building seemed smaller on the outside when first approaching.

If you ever came to Whiting, NJ I could show you a platform you can safely climb on a look out all over the place! I used to go there at night early evening and watch the deer.

I was just there today. I didn’t see the buildings with the refrigerator or the controls or the snack bar. Must have been on the other part of the loop. We accidentally took the mt. Olga trail by the fire tower and missed the rest of the loop trail.

There is some interesting history of the ski area on the NewEnglandSkiHistory.com website.

What a great explore...The tower has amazing views, glad you climbed it Jennifer. I agree with Marcel about the bra...gross! LOL. 👍

19:24 Is That The Tower Making That Noise , Or Your Husband / Friend Messing With You ?? That Tower Looks More Stable Than That LOL
