Biathlon is an exciting Nordic sport
involving skiing and target shooting. The program has
been active at Mt Washington since 1993 and operates
out of the biathlon hut at the new expanded range.
"The biathlon program is for
youth (age 10 and up) and adult skiers who want to learn
about the sport of biathlon and develop basic skills
and orientation. The program is presently introductory
in scope and non-competitive at this stage. It is activity
based with an emphasis on range activities and safety.
This program has the potential for growth to provide
a competition based component as well. Participants
must become members of Biathlon BC and will be expected
to participate in range maintenance and development
activities. The program is complementary to the coached
skiing training available through the other club programs
(Devo Team, Jr. Race Team and up)."
This program is currently in need
of a coordinator in order for the Biathlon program to
go ahead this winter. Anyone interested can email: info@strathconanordics.com.
