Who are Michael and Susan?

Michael Forster, 37 has wanted to venture to Argentina for skiing ever since his trip to St. Anton in Austria five winters ago. For the past six seasons Michael has spent his time on telemark skis, mastering the skills which have now enabled him to ski moguls and steeps like a pro. Michael grew up in Los Alamos, NM, now primarily lives in Albuquerque NM where he works as a contractor to Lockheed Martin supporting the Air Force Special Operations aircrew training, as a project manager for CAE. Michael also owns a house in Pagosa Springs, Colorado where he spends his weekends skiing at Wolf Creek http://www.wolfcreekski.com/, rafting the San Juan river and hanging out at Kips. Michael loves his Pabst Blue Ribbon (PBR) but will take in any beverage with the title "beer" or "Margarita" in it.

Susan Brockway, 39 loves to travel and after an awesome trip to three ski areas in Canada (Kicking Horse, Lake Louise and Sunshine) http://www.skiholiday2009.blogspot.com/ this past winter she is craving more, so when Michael asked if she wanted to come along to Argentina it was a resounding "YES". Susan lives and works in Los Alamos, NM as a project management/licensing specialist for the Alliance between Los Alamos National Laboratory and Chevron for Advanced Energy Solutions. She has a 17 year old daughter, Tiffany who will graduate from High School in 2010. Susan loves to ski, ride her bike, hike and recently took up rock climbing. Susan has been an alpine skier for 35 years and this past season (with STRONG encouragement by Michael) took up telemark skiing. She's sticking to the blues on the tele's for now but plans to take more lessons to catch up with Michael fast. Susan likes good beer and good wine and anything with cheese.


Susan and Michael met as young children and spent their childhoods camping with their families. They both learned to ski at Pajarito Ski area http://www.skipajarito.com/ and it has become a life long love for them both. Lifetime friends, they decided to take this trip (probably since their other friends didn't want to come) and are looking forward to the adventure.
