  • Bringing the Birkebeiner Legacy to Life at the Birkie
    For Immediate Release Contact: Nancy Knutson 715-634-5025 [email protected] Bringing the Birkebeiner Legacy to Life at the Birkie Descendants of Founding Birkie Skier Selected as 2019 Birkebeiner Warriors & Inga Hayward, WI (February 23, 2019) – The American Birkebeiner Ski Foundation is pleased to announce the selection of the trio of cross-country skiers who will depict two Birkebeiner Warriors and Inga, the mother of baby Prince Haakon. On February 23, 2019, William Andresen (Ironwood, MI), Carolyn Andresen Warren (Ironwood, MI), and David Andresen (Ironwood, MI) will portray Torstein, Skjervald, and Inga, respectively. Each year, in homage to the legacy of the race, a trio reenacts the historic trek of warriors Torstein and Skjervald, and Inga (mother of Prince Haakon) on wooden skis and in full costume along the entire 55K classic American Birkebeiner cross-country course. Inga and the Warriors will carry a baby doll along the race course, and pick-up a real baby “prince” prior to skiing down Main Street to the finish line. The portrayal is a true celebration of the roots, legacy and traditions of the race. What makes this year’s Inga and Warriors selection all the sweeter, is that the trio are the descendants of Karl Andresen, one of the original 35 founding American Birkebeiner skiers from 1973. Karl’s son, William (Torstein), skied in the first Kortelopet at the age of twelve and has since racked-up a total of seven Kortelopet races and eighteen American Birkebeiner races. Karl’s grandchildren, David (Skjervald) and Carolyn (Inga), have never experienced a year without a Birkie, including skiing in eleven Barnebirkie races each.

  • 2011 American Birkebeiner Ski Foundation
    2016-2017 American Birkebeiner Ski Foundation Board Candidate Profile Information Candidate Name: Ian D. Duncan Address: 137 Nautilus Drive City: Madison State: WI Zip: 53705 Home Phone: 608-233-0962 Other Phone:_608-514-5596 (cell)__ E-Mail Address: [email protected] Years of Membership in the ABSF: Not sure Occupation: Professor, UW-Madison Please respond to the following question. Why are you interested in being a member of the ABSF Board of Directors and what knowledge and skills do you possess that can benefit the organization? In the early 1980’s I read about the American Birkebeiner while working as a research fellow at McGill University in Montreal. I had taken up cross country skiing in Montreal and had done the Canadian Ski Marathon a few times as well as the Riviere Rouge race. I was looking for a job and while UW-Madison was trying to recruit me, the thought of skiing the Birkie tipped the scale. Well, thirty two Birkie’s later, the race has become a major part of my adult life. My family is also involved and my older son is a Birkie skier. This year I was reminded of the special place of the Birkie when listening to WORT in the comfort of my condo as the 6-hour plus finishers were interviewed. The thing that impressed me most was the joy and enthusiasm of the many young male and female competitors who despite their exhaustion, laughed and recounted the fun of the race and that they would do it all again, ‘Now that’s something worth preserving and promoting I thought!’ As a veteran ski racer both in the North America and in Europe where I have done the Norwegian Birkie and the Marcialonga I know what it takes for a ski race to be successful (apart from good snow!) I ran the Birke Skiers for Cure Program in 2009-2012 and raised over $300K for MS research.

Forum Nordicum 3 Deine Belohnung. Ski Championships Lahti will host the Nordic World Ski Championships in 2017 for a historic seventh time. We are extremely proud to be the first city to achieve this record. To celebrate our unique history, we decided to name the event the Centenary Championships. The Centenary Championships are both an exciting and carefully prepared world-class sports event and one of the festivities that celebrate the centenary of Finland’s independence. A rare occasion for us Finns – and hopefully for our international guests. Lahti offers an optimal setting for record-breaking performances. The traditional venue has undergone extensive renovation and is now a fully functioning stadium that meets today’s requirements. We are also proud to have Vierumäki Olympic Training Center as our athlete’s village that allows the athletes to unwind and focus all their energy on performing at their best. We hope that the 2017 World Championships will leave their mark on future decades of sports events in Lahti and in Finland. The event has gained a great deal of popularity among young people, and we will soon have a new generation of volunteers for sports events.

Dear Family and Friends - We made it through our first month of 2018! I hope you all came through unscathed and doing well. While we had a few weeks of bitter cold, we managed to get a few really nice days. This month, we have multiple Reminiscing stories that I think you will find to be of great reading. They are: • A little history on local ice cutting back in the day. Ice would be cut out of the lakes to use throughout the year. • The XXIII (23rd) Winter Olympic Games, starting February 9th. • The “American Birkebeiner” started in 1973, however, the original Birkebeiner actually started in 1206. I recently visited my puppy, Copper, and his pseudo mommy and daddy in Eagle River, WI. We had a wonderful lunch in town and then walked across the parking lot to see the construction happenings for this year’s Ice Castle. The local fire department and volunteers were very hard at work, and it was already looking magical when we were there. I was in awe! The creating and construction of these ice castles has been taking place for 90 years. Even though I lived in Rhinelander for a couple of years, just 1/2 hour south of Eagle River, I never had a chance to go see these amazing structures.
