Wolf's Run Resort
Bakersfield, Vermont
Partially constructed in the 1980s
Overview
Located in northern Vermont, the Wolf's Run Resort was proposed and partially constructed in the 1980s. Trails were cleared on the west shoulder of Butternut Ridge and a Borvig chairlift was advertised as ordered in multiple ski area publications. The vertical drop would have been almost 500 feet.

A surface lift was installed and inspected in 1989.
