TRAVERSE CITY, Mich., Nov. 12, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Liko Smith, the owner of the 560 acre Sugar Loaf Resort has joined forces with producer E'lan Frank of E'lan Productions to create "The RoK Reality Series".

The pair will be shopping the show with several networks.

"Liko Smith is a man of action who gets things done. - I am very pleased to come on board and join him on this exciting project. It has tremendous potential," says E'lan Frank. "I look forward to our work together on it."

"The RoK Team, our consultants and snowboarders are attempting a feat never before done in the history of snow resorts, opening a resort that has been closed for over 13 years, in less than 12 months...Cameras will be covering all the action," says Liko Smith. "It's an inside-out look at this amazing adventure."

The Sugar Loaf Resort at 4500 Sugar Loaf Mountain Road, near Traverse City, Michigan has been closed since 2000. The property consists of a 6-Lift Ski Mountain, a 144,000 sq. ft. Lodge and ample acreage for year round activities. It is planned to open as The RoK at Sugar Loaf by Thanksgiving 2014. For information visit www.therokatsugarloaf.com.
