One of six athletes to make a 2012 U.S. national team from the Stratton Mountain School this season Nick Krause has international experience already in the bag. After opening the 2011 season with some early FIS top-10s, he hit the road for Austria finishing seventh in slalom in Vienna and then capped the year by knocking down podiums at Sugarloaf, Stratton and Stowe before heading to his first U.S. Championships. Next up is a full U.S. NorAm schedule and hopefully a trip to the World Junior Championships.
