Karen Cummings

Karen has been writing about skiing for decades. She lives life, in Maine, with a smile. Karen began skiing at the tender age of 25 and immediately discovered après-ski—her specialty. These days her nightlife forays are “research.” Karen is an expert shopper and may have purchased something at every resort she has visited. Karen wrote much of the original cross country ski entries on SkiSnowboard.com before XCSkiResorts.com became its own Web site. Thank you so much - We're indebted!
