Celebrate the Legend
Every year the Canadian Birkie Ski Festival chooses a Birkie Baby to represent our Legend’s crown prince, Haakon Haakonsson.
2025 Birkie Baby
Meet our 2025 Birkie Baby, William! Baby William arrived on the coldest day of 2024, when the thermometer dipped to a frosty −46°C truly a little winter warrior from the very start! Growing up on a bison farm, surrounded by the gentle giants of the prairie, he’s already immersed in the beauty and wildness of nature. With such a start, it seems almost certain that William will one day delight in the Birkie at Elk Island National Park, gliding through snowy trails with the same warmth and curiosity he brings to the world.
What is the role of the Birkie Baby?
The Birkie Baby is treated like royalty, as they (and their parents/guardians) attend various events throughout the Birkie weekend. Events the Birkie Baby attend include the Viking’s Feast and the Barnebirkie Family Ski.
