SUN VALLEY, Idaho — U.S. Ski Team rookies and Stratton Mountain School teammates Julia Kern and Katharine Ogden (last weekend’s SuperTour 10 kilometer freestyle race winner) sat down with FasterSkier this week to discuss their summer training with the U.S. Ski Team (USST) and how they are feeling coming into the race season.
Kern also provided a unique preview of the 1.3-kilometer course that will be used for Saturday’s SuperTour classic sprint at the Lake Creek trails in Sun Valley.

Torin Tucker Trail Dedication
Saturday, Dec. 27, 2014 10 a.m.
Lake Creek Cross Country Ski Trails
The Sun Valley Ski Education Foundation (SVSEF) Cross Country Ski Team will conduct a Trail Dedication in Memory of SVSEF Team Alumni Torin Tucker on Saturday, December 27th 2014 , 10.00 am at the Lake Creek Ski Trails.
Torin passed away suddenly last winter while participating at a cross country ski race in Craftsbury, Vt., where he was racing as a member of the Dartmouth College Ski Team. The SVSEF will be renaming a trail in Torin’s honor with the new name being Torin’s Tuck’er.
The trail is the biggest , toughest uphill and the fastest most challenging downhill on the Lake Creek system, which exactly fits Torin’s spirit of embracing adventure and challenge. Please plan to ski out to the ceremony; it is a 5 minute easy ski. After the ceremony, the SVSEF will be hosting a fun family ski event called the Holiday Relays so feel free to participate or cheer. See you there.
