The person behind the Frosty Freestyle and Krazy Klassic mike will be none other than Northville Mayor and ski enthusiast Ken Roth! A resident of Northville since 1997, Ken was elected mayor in 2015. He and his wife Amy are avid outdoor enthusiasts and competitive cross-country skiers. A longtime member of Team NordicSkiRacer, Ken was instrumental in making the Frosty Freestyle ski race the success it is today. We are thrilled to have him — and his voice — at this upcoming event!
