American Birkebeiner Ski Race Fan Cutouts

We all know the 2021 Slumberland American Birkebeiner, Kortelopet and Prince Haakon ski events will be different than anything any of us have ever experienced before. 

Perhaps one of the things skiers will miss the most is not having familiar faces there to greet them at the finish line.  We are excited to announce Birkie Fan Cutouts, a great way for friends and family to support their skiers at the 2021 races.  Fans can show their support for their favorite skiers by purchasing a personalized Birkie Fan Cutout.  Much like you’ve seen in major league stadiums, imagine your smiling face greeting skiers as they arrive in the finish zone.  Meanwhile, you’ll be able to watch your skiers cross the finish line, on the live stream cameras, all from the comfort of home.  It’s the next best thing to being there  

All proceeds from the sale of Birkie Fan Cutouts will go to the American Birkebeiner Ski Foundation (ABSF) youth development programs.  Your Birkie Fan Cutout purchase will enable the ABSF to have a full youth development program this summer.

• Your personal Birkie Fan Cutout will appear along the finish area to inspire the race finishers.
• You will be able to pick up your fan cutout March 1 - April 1 at the Birkie office in Hayward, WI. 
• Proceeds from the sales will go directly to the ABSF youth development programs.

Purchase by February 15 to have your Birkie Fan Cutout along the finish at the 2021 races!
