This conversation with Mitch Mode was recorded on Tuesday February 20, a day before the start of the American Birkebeiner ski event, traditionally held between Cable and Hayward, Wisconsin. Obviously the weather this year has been unusual to say the least. With a few adaptations to the course this year, the event is still “ON”, and Mitch will be skiing in his 46th consecutive American Birkebeiner.
