  • Feb 12 update:
    Organizers held another livestream question and answer session. The big announcements were looped course on roughly a 10K snowmaking loop at the Birkie Trailhead. Birkie distance will be 30K (except for the SuperTour/elite, which will be 50K). Kortelopet will be 20K (2 laps) and Prince Haakon will be 10K (1 lap). Exact distances might change. Kortie will be split into classic and freestyle races, with several hours in between to regroom for skate. There will also been time limits, and if skiers can't finish within the time limit they won't receive credit (encourage skiers to switch to open track). Birkie freestyle races on Saturday, classic races on Sunday. Read all the updates and watch the Q&A livestream replay.
