  • Thank you to Dennis Nelson of Denmark, MI who sent me the following email:
    • Hello, Thought you would be interested in an old abandoned ski area that was in Mineral Hills just north of Iron River MI.


      Longitude = 46.122959
      Latitude = -88.649947

      The chalet building is still there at 1905 Crose st. It had a rope for tobogganing and I think It had 2 ropes for skiing. I think it closed in the 70s. I used to snowboard and toboggan there in the mid 80s well after it was shut down.

      Mineral Hills ski area, located just outside of Iron River. The former Chalet is now a house and is situated at the top of the slope, which has a western exposure. There are portions of the rope tow still in place, with the top terminal building now used as a garden shed. Not sure on timelines of when it opened, operated, and closed.

    • Email - Sandra Wood: " When we were kids in the late 50s and early 60s, we used to hike in that area all the time. I remember seeing what was left of the ski area then. The only thing I can remember seeing at the time where the old cable pulleys on posts on the hill. The pulleys were actually old vehicle tire rims.

      Many years later while bike riding out there, I found nothing left of the ski area. I am very sure the area was what is now the camping area of the park which is off Maceday Road on the north side of the park. There are two very nice hills there that I am sure are the old ski area. I did quite a bit of bike riding out there and I am sure I would have seen anything that was left.

      The names of the roads out there have changed a bit in the last 50 years and I think that section of Maceday Road was at one time Orr Road.

      Based on what I saw, the ski area was gone before the early 60s. "

Sent 10/20/23

Leelanau Historical Society,

I manage the Midwest Lost Ski Areas Project (mwlsap.org), a website that is attempting to list all the abandoned ski areas in the Midwest. I have evidence that Chainsaw Mountain, "on a bend off Trumbull Road", was the first ski area in Leelanau County. I have not been able to find its exact location. Do you know where it was located? All the information I do have can be found at: https://www.mwlsap.org/michigan/mi.htm#chainsawmountain

 

Also, according to: https://leelanauconservancy.org/2004/02/theiss-glen-lake-hillside/ , "As interest in skiing grew, the action moved first to Miller Hill, and then to Sugarloaf." So it sounds like there was skiing on Miller Hill as well. Can you confirm this?

 

Any information that you may have on skiing at Chainsaw Mountain and Miller Hill would be greatly appreciated. I can find nothing at newspapers.com

    • "I’m sure it confused people when it was printed because there is no, absolutely no, evidence anywhere in land records, maps, aerial photos, or our other more secret sources that there was ever a ski area named “Hollow Springs” located ten miles west of Pontiac.

      I’m led to conclude, then that the newspaper reporter somehow conflated “Teeple Hill” with “Hollow Springs” but as far as the evidence goes, I have found nothing ."
