Ben Ogden Interview

Ben Odgen has 5 individual top 10 finishes at World Juniors as well as 2^nd, 1^st, and 1^st in the Junior relay. Also 11^th in 2021 U23 Classic sprint after finishing 3^rd in the qualifier. Ben finished 17^th in the 2021 World Championship Classic sprint. Clearly this is one of the most talented and capable young racers we have ever had. Ben is John Ogden’s son against whom I used to race and is the brother of Katharine who skis World Cups and Charlotte who is a promising young skier. Ben, 21, skis for Stratton and is a senior in college also skiing for UVM.

This interview has a lot of wisdom in it ranging from focusing on a total approach rather than a ski only approach and also how to keep things fun and light while in the pursuit of excellence.
