Glacier Nordic Club – Youth Biathlon Program

When winter glistens in the Flathead Valley, the Glacier Nordic Club fosters not just sport, but an immersive experience, a thrilling symphony of speed and precision foucssed on biathlon. Ascending beyond your normal ski trails, kids aged 10-18 can grasp the reins of the quintessential winter sport, courtesy of a collaborative program by the Glacier Nordic Club and the U.S. Biathlon Association. Perhaps your child is a competent skate skier, already tracing the Alpine landscapes in GNST programs, ready to expand their snowy horizons. Or maybe they're a novice, with no prior experience in shooting, yet brimming with the spirit of adventure? This Club embraces all, creating paths where earlier none existed. After all, potential doesn't knock, you have to build a door. And this program might just be the key to unlock it.

The Youth Biathlon Program draws a delightful canvas of learning. With four skilfully crafted segments, young enthusiasts can dip their toes into the exciting world of biathlon. Here, young hearts can throb in rhythm with every stride, and pulses can match the tempo of every laser rifle shot. How serene it is to replace bullets and loud shots with laser rifles provided by the U.S. Biathlon Association, alleviating the typical concerns surrounding safety. It's not just traditional teachings that are on offer here. For intermediate and advanced skiers thirsting for more, a three-part series takes them further into tactics for swiftness and accuracy. But remember, this journey towards mastery is not a race, rather a route best tucked into in small amounts, with only eight spots available in the series. At the end of the day, Glacier Nordic Club resonates with the philosophy that it's never just about teaching a sport. It's about etching memories in the snow, stories in youthful minds and, most importantly, nurturing a lifelong love for the biathlon. The ball is in your court. Will you let your child seize this wonderful opportunity and embark on a journey of discovery and growth?
