American Birkebeiner
The American Birkebeiner, held yearly in Hayward, Wisconsin, is one of the biggest cross-country ski races and events in the country, let alone Wisconsin. Although Hayward is two hours from Twin Lakes, the show, race and events are worth the trip. The race takes place over a three-day weekend and features ski gear shows, expos, waxing clinics, several different length races and music and food. Up to 40 different companies display their new gear, including telemark, downhill, cross-country and alpine touring.
