Sugar Loaf is perhaps one of the most recognizable lost ski resorts in America. Operating from the late 1940's, Sugar Loaf was once a full on ski resort featuring golf courses, a hotel, indoor tennis, swimming pools and the ski slopes. Despite it's prominence in Michigan, Sugar Loaf abruptly closed in 2000, and has been lost to time ever since. In this video, we’ll take a deep dive into the complete and complex history of the Sugar Loaf ski resort.
