Birch Legacies
We are sharing stories celebrating the motivation, the perseverance, and the lifestyle choices necessary to reach the status of Birchlegger - that is, skiers who have completed 20 or more American Birkebeiner ski races.
Birch Legacies
The Birkie is much more than a week in February with Paul Thompson
Our first episode features Paul Thompson, the President of the Birchleggings club. Paul is a great example of a Birkie skier who has turned his passion for the outdoors into a platform to improve the world. Paul uses his voice to draw attention to preserving the health of winter so that generations of skiers can continue to enjoy our beloved race for another 50 years and beyond.

Welcome to the Birch Legacies podcast. We are sharing stories celebrating the motivation, the perserverence, and the lifestyle choices necessary to reach the status of Birchlegger - that is, skiers who have completed 20 or more Birkies, Korteloppets, or a combination of both. We would love to hear from Birchleggers young and old (that's you!) who have a story to tell about what keeps them coming back year after year.
