Canada's Premier classic-style cross-country ski festival. Get outdoors, get active and embrace winter.

The Canadian Birkie Ski Festival offers a weekend packed with recreational and competitive cross-country ski events for the whole family. Whether you're a seasoned skier or just starting out, the Birkie has a ski event for everyone.

In addition to the festival events, the Birkie also provides Birkie training programs to help you reach your goals. Get a head start in September with Dryland training, which focuses on building strength and endurance before the snow falls. Then, transition smoothly into the Canadian Birkie Winter training program, offered from late October until February, to refine your cross-country skiing skills for the festival.
