Birkebeinerrennet Course Profile

I've been searching for a course profile of the Birkie and can't find one.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?

thanks,
-Scott.

I looked on their website and surprisingly they didn't have the profile
linked. There is a profile of the course outlined in the Worldloppet
Ski Race Yearbook which has information for all of the Worldloppet
races. This year's cover has Anders Auckland winning the 2004
Vasaloppet on it. The book gets mailed to Worldloppet passport
holders each year, but you can also find this magazine-type book in
most x-c ski shops. If you're goint to the American Birkie this year,
they have them in the Birkie office. Good luck.

I thought it was just me. I scoured their website looking for a profile and
thought that maybe they didn't put it on the English translation site....

I'm going to the Keski, so I'll look there.

thanks,

-Scott.

Try this (2003 but the course hasn't changed much, if any)

The bad news is that a new measurement showed that the course
was only 54 km, rather than 58 km !

That's what I am looking for! Thanks.

How did you find the snow today? The forecast is not good for the coming
week, but we've had two great week-ends in a row.

I had a great day Sunday skiing on Gaspereau Lake, along the north shore,
so we were in brilliant sunshine the whole time. Getting an early suntan!
