2026 Summer College Program

Join Team Birkie This Summer

College athletes are invited to join Team Birkie’s Summer Collegiate Training Program—a high-level, coach-led training environment for athletes who want to put together a big summer of training while enjoying the grind with a great crew.

Team Birkie is excited to bring together a motivated, competitive, and fun group of collegiate athletes in the Twin Cities. This program is for skiers who are serious about getting faster—but who also know that the best training happens when you’re surrounded by teammates who push you, support you, and make the work enjoyable.
