This highlight video shows the drama from the qualifying run and finals of the American Birkebeiner Giant Ski Race, held last weekend on Main Street in Hayward. The Nimrod Giant Ski Team recaptured the championship this year.

Giant Expectations: The Nimrod Giant Ski Movie offers an inside look at the most successful and controversial giant ski team of all time.
And, of course, there’s also a song, “Battle of the Big Ski,” performed by Pappa Bear Norton and written by Zac Norton and Bronson Bergeson.
