Hello, I would be interested in joining as a founding member. I’ve been skiing for years and coach a high school team near Minneapolis. I have a cabin one hour away from Telemark Village. I also have time to volunteer.

Hey all,
Justin from Kenai biathlon here. A few questions about the range.
1, What style of targets are y’all thinking? Devin’s pull rope or something electronic?
2. Are you guys going to have wind flags and t-posts or just targets?
3. Will there be a penalty loop?

Hi Justin. It’s my understanding that Birkie is putting in Kurvinen targets, and I believe electronic. We will eventually have flags for things like events, probably not for open range practice is my guess. To be determined! The loops will be integrated into the paved trailhead system and there will be a penalty loop.
