Brickyard Mountain Inn
The Brickyard Mountain Inn existed from 1970–1989. The webmaster remembers the property best for its late-1970s discotheque. Called the Inferno, the disco opened in 1975. It featured a quadraphonic Marantz sound system and disc jockey Neal Seavey, “NH’s #1 DJ”, who presided over a “trip through the looking glass to the bewitching wonderland of soul music and undulating light shows.”

Brickyard Mountain Ski Resort
Since the mid-1960s, Brickyard Mountain’s predecessor resort, the Shangri-La, had operated a bunny hill ski slope with a rope tow and night lights. In late November, 1976, Brickyard Mountain opened its new ski area, with six new trails on the mountain, serviced by a 1200′ long double chairlift. Snowmaking and night lights were added to some of the new trails. The original bunny slope was retained. With only about 450′ of vertical, one lift, and a very limited trail system, the mountain could not compete with other nearby ski resorts, and it closed permanently in 1984.
