Category: Sugar Loaf…”after the rise”

In the early to late 70”s, Sugar Loaf Mt. Resort was my refuge. Born and raised in Maple City, it became my connection to an exciting unknown world, outside the sheltered walls of Leelanau.

Today, I have a home at the base of the mountain. Each time I look up at her, I reminense… my mind filled with all of the wonderful memories she gave to me.

Since the resort’s shutdown, I have wandered the mountain. With the lens of my camera and an impressionistic vision, I have created images that reflect so many aspects of what she stood for.

My portfolio ” Sugar Loaf “after the rise.” presents the cruel reality that change is inevitable in life. Sugar Loaf Mountain Resort experienced a complete life cycle. She had a wonderful reign. I will always cherish her most important gift to us all … how she made us feel.
