Event Information

Description

Hoofer tradition dictates that Team Delta, a solid cross-country ski group made up of Hoofers (some of them good skiers even) turn out for the annual Birkebeiner Ski Marathon. Or the Korte (29k). Or the Prince Haakon (15k). There is a ski event for just about anybody to enjoy!

We'll stay in the Animal House at Delta Lodge, eat at the Delta Diner, ski the Korte or Prince Haakon on Friday, the Birkie on Saturday, and maybe at Rock Lake on Sunday for a cool down. You don't have to ski in one of the races - there is great demand for supporters to cheer on the skiers. It is kind of like the Olympics in downtown Hayward. Or you can go and ski at one of the many places around the area. They'll be pretty empty on race day!

Hoofers already has one cabin filled at Delta Lodge. We're looking to get a good crew in the Animal House, too. If we can get 10 people in the Animal House, it will be about $70 a person (plus gas and food).

Sign up for the race at: http://www.birkie.com/ Hurry before all the waves fill up!

Additional Info:

Club ski equipment is available. The cabin is fully furnished - all you need is a towel and comfy cabin clothes. Beginners are encouraged to check it out and see what all the fun is about. 15k is a pretty good day for a beginner. The Birkie is 50+k and should be undertaken by someone fairly competent and trained up for a long day of skiing on a hilly course. Anyone can spectate, ring bells, cheer on the skiers, and share in Birkie Fever! If you know of anyone looking for a place to stay for race weekend, we can take non-Hoofers, too!
