Nordic Ski Club Of Fairbanks - Biathlon Program

Discover the thrill of an Olympic sport right here in Fairbanks, AK, at the highly acclaimed Nordic Ski Club of Fairbanks Biathlon Program. Offering a captivating mix of focus and physical endurance, the Biathlon allows participants to not only tread the winter fields on skis but also learn the art of precision shooting. This biathlon program serves up 4-6 week courses throughout the year for kids aged 10 and up, as well as adults - whether they're newbies or seasoned competitors. The club has a captivating, fun-filled approach to the sport, combining engaging activities and games to keep participants eager for more. In true family-friendly spirit, the focus is less on athletic prowess and more on educating about Biathlon and cultivating a deep respect for rifle safety. And don't worry about gear! All equipment, from rifles to ammo, alongside comprehensive safety and shooting instruction, are provided. Whether it's summer or winter, be ready for light activity. The summer/fall season sees sessions on foot, with the winter unfurling the traditional ski-set Biathlon. Feel free to choose your style: classic or skate. The shooting is the program's star, meaning ski level isn't the end-all-be-all.

All programs convene at the Birch Hill Rec Area's outdoor range, immersing participants in the spectacular Alaskan outdoors. Membership to the NSCF and USBA is required, so consider joining these welcoming communities to take full advantage of their offerings. This program is an extraordinary opportunity to bring a dash of Olympic spirit to your family's Alaskan adventure.
