    2022 Slumberland American Birkebeiner

    Hayward and Cable Areas

    We’re looking forward to Birkie 2022 with excitement as we return to a traditional Slumberland American Birkebeiner experience.  Skiers will start at the American Birkebeiner Trailhead in Cable, WI, as they ski their way through the forest on the Birkie Trail, glide across Lake Hayward, cross over the American Birkebeiner International Bridge, as they head toward the finish line on Hayward’s snow-covered Main Street.  We’ve heard it time and time again, once you ski a Birkie you’re forever changed and return to experience this amazing event year after year.  We hope to see you on the finish line! #Birkie2022
