BRATTLEBORO — Berkshire Bank is being accused of "defrauding" a group of Hermitage Club members who invested in a six-person, bubble chairlift at the now-shuttered private ski resort at Haystack Mountain.

Barnstormer Summit Lift LLC is seeking an order declaring that the group's lien is superior to any lien or claim the bank has on the chairlift.
