Julia Kern had the opportunity to pursue basketball, but chose nordic skiing... then quickly found her way onto the World Cup podium, and now carries a World Championship bronze medal. Threshold catches up with Julia after the US Ski Team Bend camp.

Ariens Nordic Center invites you to our inaugural Mike Ariens Run/Walk Aug. 19, 2023, where you can run or walk a 5k or 10K and bring the kids for our 1K Kids Fun Run. All participants get Mike’s signature running swag, a bucket hat, and his favorite treat, ice cream at the finish line. The run/walk course takes you on the Mike Ariens Trail for Life, through AriensCo conservation land, through downtown Brillion, Wisconsin, before ending on the trails at Ariens Nordic Center.
