Susan Frankenstein – Susan says that any day on skis is a good day. She used to race, but now is happiest seeing where that old road or opening in the woods goes. On skis, one can get to so many places that are too wet in summer. Susan loves to see the kids grow and gain confidence on skis and hear their stories as they search out the next adventure. When not skiing, she likes to mountain bike, hike, garden, and read.
