The resolution celebrates the 51st anniversary of the American Birkebeiner, the largest cross-country ski race in North America, which has grown significantly since its inception in 1973. It recognizes the event's importance to Wisconsin, highlighting that it attracts over 12,000 skiers and approximately 35,000 spectators each February, as well as participants from at least 25 countries and 49 states. The resolution also acknowledges the contributions of 2,500 volunteers and the economic impact of Birkie Week events on the local communities in Sawyer and Bayfield Counties.

In light of these contributions, the resolution proclaims February 17 to 23, 2025, as American Birkebeiner Week in Wisconsin. It emphasizes the mission of the American Birkebeiner Ski Foundation to promote international cross-country ski competitions and encourage a healthy lifestyle among individuals of all ages and abilities. The resolution concludes with a directive for the senate chief clerk to provide a copy to the American Birkebeiner Ski Foundation.
