Fun For All at the Birkie

The American Birkebeiner Ski race isn't just for die-hard ski enthusiasts there are lots of fun events that the go on the two days prior to the big ski race.  Last night, one of those fun events, was the Giant Ski Race. Teams of 6 brightly adorned, decorated and decked out racers slide down Main Street on two giant skis competing for the best time.

Below is a video of the top two teams racing for the win.
