  • total trees planted were 5720, value $1430.
  • Race Team planted 2405 trees, value $601.25
  • Telemark Biathlon Team planted 2905, value$726.25
  • Cadet Biathlon Team planted 410 trees, value $102.50
  • we had 45 planters over the two day
  • average production was 170 trees per shift, of roughly 3 hrs
  • Star planter was Jeff  who planted 3 shifts and a total of 620 trees

We get to do it all again in two weeks – see you there!

Everyone who carries a biathlon rifle is required to have a PAL. This includes athletes who ski any distance with the rifle (including Senior Girls and Senior Boys, as they ski with their rifle within the Range area).  It also includes coaches and parents who transport rifles to and from the range.

Richard is hoping to organize a PAL course fairly soon so please email Richard at   rush_creek@telus.net   to let him know if you are interested.

It can take quite a while (months) for your PAL to arrive after successful completion of the course and test, so the sooner you get this done the better!
