Learn the basics and/or build upon existing Biathlon skills at the stadium at McNeil Canyon Elementary School and adjacent cross country ski trails.

McNeil Canyon Biathlon installed an 8 Point electronic rifle range which is on the groomed ski trails by McNeil Canyon Elementary School. The range is fully electronic and the rifles used are infrared cameras connected to the target. McNeil Canyon Biathlon has incorporated biathlon into Middle School skiing practice and in the after school activities at McNeil
Canyon Elementary School. 
We encourage all Nordic skiers of all grades to build their skiing skills in addition to a new sport. Skate skis are preferred. If your child is an absolute beginner skier, we advise you to work with Junior Nordic or KNSC
private ski classes.

Biathlon is a very popular winter sports that combines cross country skiing and rifle shooting. Usually, it is treated as a race, with contestants skiing through a cross country trail course whose distance is divided into shooting rounds. The shooting rounds are not timed per se, however every missed shot will usually result in extra distance or time being added to the contestant’s total.
