BELOW IS A DESCRIPTION OF THE PRINCE HAAKON EVENT.
Prince Haakon Skiers will be bused to the start area using the same bus system as the Birkie/Korte skiers. Click here for more information.
On the 12K course Skate skiers will use the Birkie Skate trail and Classic skiers will use the Birkie Classic trail for the first 7K. Both routes will then follow a connector trail and join the Kortelopet trail that will be groomed for both skate and classic skiing.
Prince Haakon 12K skiers will then ski with Kortelopet skiers for the next 4K to the final aid station where Haakon 12K skiers will leave the Kortelopet trail and course and ski directly toward the Telemark Resort and Kortelopet finish line for the 12K finish. Refer to the map of course, right hand column of this page.
