I was sorry to hear today that Frank McCusker, the CEO of the Ski Club of Great Britain for the last 5 years, died of a heart attack this weekend while cycling with friends.
I met him a few times and he seemed a nice guy.

It is with deepest sorrow that the Ski Club of Great Britain confirms the death of our Chief Executive Frank McCusker on Sunday June 25th 2017 at the age of 55.
Frank was on a cycling trip with a group of friends when he suffered a sudden heart attack.
The Chairman of the Ski Club, Rob Crowder, said " we are all in shock at this tragic news and the loss of a valued friend and colleague. Our thoughts are with his wife Stephanie and his children, Archie and Mollie. Frank was a highly respected figure within the Snowsport Industry and will be sorely missed by so many people”
Frank was a kind, thoughtful and passionate colleague who respected everyone’s opinions and was keen to bring the Ski Club to new audiences in the digital age. He will be greatly missed by all at the Ski Club of Great Britain.

Crikey, spoke at length with him in Tignes, really nice bloke. He also had 'his head screwed on' regarding where the SCGB needed to go.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

I only spoke to him briefly once or twice and he seemed a most genuine person.
It's a sad reminder of how fragile life can be.
