Frank loves stonegrinding and wants to grind your skis - but this is your last chance for the season! Photo Credit: Dave Gabrys of Cycleture.com It is mid March already. The Birkie and most of the other big races have passed us by. We've had...
Wow, this picture looks way worse than the reality...but I'm sure I'm not the only one who got a little bit of freezer burn at the Birkie! That was even WITH the use of Dermatone...so thank god I put that stuff on! My wife suggested that the thing ...

Hey All, I've run into a couple people over the last few days who I didn't get a chance to see up at the Birkie. Although the Birkie is a meeting point for 8,000+ crazy skiers, I think it's ridiculous that there are people I know who I don't see the...

Hello All, I just received the following email about a couple ski programs that have been cut. So, I figured CyclovaXC members might enjoy using their clout to do what they can to restore the funds for these programs. Here's the email I received with a couple links: "Can you please post something on CYCLOVA about the CSB/SJU ski teamsbeing cut. We are trying to get as much support from the

So there it is, the first bus. My mom dragged me out of bed at 4:00 AM just like every other Birkie to make sure we got there on time. I guess it's kind of a veteran move because fifteen minutes later the parking lot becomes a crazy place filled wi...

The Canadian men use experience, fitness, and audacity to win the 2011 World Championships Sprint Relay ! The Canadian Men team's win at the recent 2011 was dominant and even audacious in some ways - but that is what it takes to win at the highest le...

You know, it's a shame to pack it in after the Birkie because this is really the best time of year to be skiing. The temperatures are soaring (except when you race the actual Birkie of course) and you can use all those expensive Fluro waxes that actu...

Yes, injuries as severe as a broken leg happen at the Birkie... While injuries are common in sport, they are relatively unusual in XC skiing - but the Birkie is no normal race... Think about it. The Birkie is the highlight of the year for many s...

The author's daughter loving skiing for the first time at 20 months old with Mommy and Elmo lending a helping hand! As a life long Nordic skier, I have to admit that when my little 2 year old daughter asks to go skiing or go play out in the snow - i...
Holy cow! I don't know about you guys, but I thought that was a tough Birkie. As much as a skiing fanatic as I am, I really can't say that I get all excited about skiing when the Mercury is at -4 at the start. Usually that's not a big issue in la...
Wow, it's been a couple days since I've managed a post...Birkie Fever will do that to you! In between finishing work and driving up to get the bibs (thanks to the Birkie Office for putting that at Hayward this year), it's a miracle I managed to get u...
Swix Sport USA’s Andy Canniff captured some great moments in the 2011 American Birkebeiner with his camera. Here is a selection for you to enjoy.
The 38th annual American Birkebeiner, held in sub-zero and single-digit temperatures with record particpation, saw two sprint finishes to crown the men’s and women’s Birkie freestyle champions and a pair of UVM alums ski to sizable victories in the Birkie Classic on Saturday. Norwegian Tore Martin Gundersen won the 50K Birkie Freestyle race with a time of 2:00:32.8, furiously outsprinting his nearest opponent, Benoit Chauvet of France, by less than a second. Twenty seconds later,...
