Canadian Birkebeiner Ski Festival

A classic Nordic adventure, Edmonton style!

Update: Due to the lack of snow, the 2024 Saturday Birkebeiner Ski-Events have been cancelled. Virtual Birkie Codes will be issued to all Skiers and Volunteers on February 8, 2024.


Channel your inner adventurer, strap on your skis and whip around the loppet when you take on the Canadian Birkebeiner: Canada’s premier classic-style cross country ski festival! Feel the rush as you glide across the final stretch of track before falling into a blanket of white snow. The fatigue only lasts an hour or so, but the sense of accomplishment and appreciation for one of winter’s oldest sports will last forever. Get outdoors, get active and embrace winter!
