Eco-Aims Program

This introductory program to biathlon is designed for young skiers and uses eco-aim rifles, which operate with a camera and light system. Participants learn the fundamentals of biathlon, combining shooting immediately after intense skiing. They have the opportunity to attend club-level biathlon races and Calforex Cup events, which are similar to cross-country Alberta Cups. Practices are immediately following the Saturday morning cross-country program for 45 minutes
