Randi Lewis

Most weekends you can find Randi in a double pom hat either snow shoeing up Cruiser or skiing down by the Triple! She and her family have become GB locals and love nothing more than a great winter in the Berkshires.
Randi works in Corporate Finance and Accounting in New York City and looks forward to achieving great things with the Race Club Board.
