This is an introductory clinic into Laser biathlon. THERE ARE NO LIVE ROUNDS USED IN THIS CLINIC. Telluride Nordic Center and USA Biathlon are providing support and equipment for the clinic. There will be demonstrations on how to use the laser rifle and a review of the rules of biathlon. Individuals will have time to practice shooting and then have a sprint race format for participating in the sport of Biathlon, including prone and standing shooting positions.  

No experience is necessary, and skiers of all abilities are encouraged to sign up.  

What you need: Cross-country gear and be dressed and ready to go at the start times.

Registration is free but please, due to the limited number of laser rifles we have, only sign up if you are committed to being at the clinic on 3/9/24.  

Volunteers will be on the course to direct traffic and instruct in sizing and the use of the laser rifles.

Course: The course will be entirely on town park property and participants will be shown where the ski course lies.  Presently the course is tentatively set to have the shooting range near the North ballfield and a figure 8 course that will have an adult and youth ski course.  The ski course is kept short so that there is more time for the participants to practice and experience the shooting component of the sport.  

Time, weather and demand permitting we will add more training times for participants and participants may stay after the event if they want to continue to practice.  

Thank you to the Telluride Parks and Rec Staff, the Telluride Nordic Center, and USA Biathlon for their support in this endeavor.
