Ben Ogden – 10 Years – Then and Now

Ben Ogden Then and Now

UnTapped is celebrating 10 years! We’ve asked our pros to look back on the last 10 years of their careers and give us a little introspective (and of course how UnTapped has helped them reach their goals)!

As far as your athletic endeavours – Where were you 10 years ago? Where are you now? What were some major milestones? What are your goals for the future? 

10 years ago I was 15 years old and a freshman in High school and was just starting to dabble in full time training and racing. Crazy to think that I have been training at a reasonable high level for nearly 10 years… That said, I wasn’t all that professional back then. Most of my practices consisted mostly of building and hitting jumps.

I was absolutely obsessed with being the best terrain park Nordie of all time. I think my first “international ski race trip” was shortly after this in 2017. It was here when I first met most of my teammates on the World Cup today and really got a taste for what high level skiing was like. I would say that those first few trips were as transformative as any for me. I loved the energy and the people that I met and really enjoyed the racing.

Do you have a story you like to share about UnTapped? How you found out about us/a time you shared with someone and now they’re hooked/how it changed the way you fuel and/or recover?

I remember long ago when my older sister was just starting to get really fast Andrew dropped off a huge box of UnTapped stuff at out house for her with a note that said something like “make sure to share this with your brother.” I remember just being baffled by how cool that was. We both were so fired up to wear the hats and stuff around and we absolutely ripped through the edible product. It was such an epic treat.

What are your favorite UnTapped products?

My all time favorites are the pure Maple UnTapped and the Chai Waffle 🙂
