You were there? That’s awesome. It looked incredible on TV. Perfect snow and wicked blue sky.

We flew in with team Rosie. Back to the’Ghee Tuesday.
Fantastic. Congrats to you and all US Nordic ski fans that headed to Minneapolis for this historic race.
Bust mostly congrats to Jessie for sticking with her dream and Gus for taking a WC win!
Here in VT we were very sad Ben couldn’t race but Jessie, Julia, and the rest of the T2 team represented Stratton well.
Don’t forget there's World Cup biathlon in Soldier hollow in a couple of weeks. Hope to make it there from Driggs to watch the shoot and ski.
Birkie done!!! The 10k lap course was an experience in and of itself, as was starting in wave 10…but the skis were fast and the downhills were exhilirating, as the 3” of frozen granular was hiding some barely tillable ice. Conga line uphills were a great aid in pacing as it was impossible to push too hard. I have to do it again for the point-to-point!

FKNA. Good show.
No local Birchleg here this winter
Will have to take the meadowskippers for a few laps in the treeline meadows next weekend. Snow is done below 1000m here now. That’s a first for me in any of the interior mtn towns I’ve lived in here in BC. El Niño can f-k right off anytime.
Nice job! Username checks out
Was it at Boulder Pass this year?

Have any of you ever tried biathlon? Anyone know somewhere I could give it a shot somewhere in the western US?

Google is pretty good at this type of question. Anyway, I thought you knew everything. Any area with a solid Nordic scene will have biathlon

Soldier hollow has a " Biathlon experience" They have a Olympic venue and will have a world cup event 3-8----3-11. Nothing says gassed like trying to shoot a silver dollar target with a pulse of 130+.

Paintball guns are not accurate enough to be fulfilling for target practice.
This is a better idea, and would also be fun with a bow I think, but still, I'd like to do it for real with the real target setup timing etc.
I actually have heard they have a course there, and checked their website previously and found the biathlon wasn't open to the public. Just checked again and found the biathlon experiences page, including the option to mountain bike the course in the summer. So sick, I'm sold.

Crosscut outside of Bozeman has a masters rec-level biathlon program. In normal snow years it seems like they also run some community biathlon races which provide rifles for the novice entrants: https://www.crosscutmt.org/events/co...on-race-2023-2
I briefly went down the rabbit hole of looking at biathlon rifles and...even the "cheap" option is $$$$...
But I did find that there are various vendors (including some of the actual riflemakers) that sell laser-tag rifle and target setups: https://laserwar.com/equipments/biat...-20-masret-set so I guess you can run your own biathlon anywhere you can skate.
