Michigan Lost Ski Areas Project

Michigan skis for Michigan skiers.

Tariffs on imported goods? Not something that keeps us up at night.

Here at Shaggy's, we’ve been producing our skis in the US since the Thompson brothers started building skis in 2005. Every pair we make is built right here in our own Northern Michigan factory from start to finish.

And unlike most of the ski industry, we source the vast majority of our materials from American suppliers. That means less reliance on overseas manufacturing, fewer surprises from international markets, and more control over quality at every step.

When you buy Shaggy’s, you’re not just getting great skis - you’re supporting American craftsmanship and a small, family-owned company.

It was an epic winter for Mount Bohemia, but they still had to close up shop prior to their friendly rivals down in the lower peninsula.

Conditions Update 4/18/25.
Well shucks!! That rain last night wasn’t welcomed!! But it sure came down and did some damage. Upon further inspection, we came to the decision that on that note we are now only going to open 7/17 of our trails on the front side of the hill this weekend. Open 9-4:00 4/19, 4/20.
Those are as follows: Log Jam, Big Bear, Whitewater, Otterslide, Sunrise, Bunny, and Bambi.
We will run the Bambi rope & Big Bear Chairlift.
Lift tickets are only $25.

This will be our final weekend of the 2024-2025 season for Ski Brule. It has been such an amazing year, always sad to see it come to an end. Thank you to all of our guests new and returning, we can’t wait to see you next season already 🥰

Michigan skis for Michigan skiers.

We don’t build skis in the US because it’s the easiest or most profitable path.

We do it because it’s the right one.

Every pair of Shaggy’s is crafted with pride, precision, and a relentless focus on quality.

Built by skiers for skiers.
