Still sking, Ernie St. Germain and John Kotar (Coe-tar) are Birkebeiner Ski race founders.  The annual Birkebeiner ran last weekend in northwestern Wisconsin.  St. Germaine and Kotar are among the handful of  skiers who have skied every race since the first American Birkebeiner  race organized by Tony Wise  more than thirty  years ago.  Earlier last week St. Germaine’s  knee was in such terrible shape he thought he might never ski again and Kotar more than sixty years old wasn’t sure he’d be able to finish either. But both St. Germaine and Kotar crossed the finish line of the 52 kilometer race this past weekend in Hayward, Wisconsin. Nick Vander Puy from the Superior Broadcast Network reports.
