Sugar Loaf: Back from the dead in time for Halloween?

The Traverse City Record-Eagle sent out an update yesterday saying that a Deal is in the works for Sugar Loaf Ski Resort. They have the full article today titled Shuttered Sugar Loaf may get new life:

A man with Leelanau County ties is purchasing the long-shuttered Sugar Loaf Resort property.

An attorney for resort owner Kate Wickstrom said his client approved a purchase agreement for the property with Brad Lutz, a seasonal Leelanau County resident. Lutz is working on details related to the resort’s sewage treatment system before the transaction is finalized, said his attorney, Robert Parker of Traverse City.

“He’s real excited about it … he’s very committed to re-opening the ski hill,” Parker said.

So there you go … let the speculation (and ski waxing) begin.
