How did founder Tony Wise fuel its rise from humble beginnings\, with just 54 skiers in 1973? What keeps skiers\, from weekend warriors to Olympians\, coming back each February despite the extreme\, 30-plus-mile challenge through the snow and hills of northern Wisconsin? Attendees will be inspired by the fascinating history of the Birkebeiner and its visionary founder — one man’s dream that became the pride of two communities and the talk of the Nordic ski world — as well as the spirit of the race. \n\n\n\nJournalist and author Jerome “Jerry” P. Poling has skied more than twenty-five American Birkebeiners and has reported on the race for nearly forty years. He has published four other books\, including two on the Green Bay Packers\, one on Henry Aaron\, and one on the history of the University of Wisconsin at Stout.
