| Event and Programs Update |
With the fantastic snowfalls of recent weeks, biathlon and cross country skiing activities are continuing at both Perisher and Hotham. Unfortunately, with the current COVID challenges in NSW, biathlon events due to be held in conjunction with NSW/ACT/QLD Interschools in August will be unable to proceed.
However, an event at Perisher in September is a serious possibility pending snow conditions and travel restrictions being lifted in NSW.
In Hotham, a training camp and time trial opportunities are under consideration given the cancellation this week of the 2021 Australian Biathlon Championships.
