ADULT PRACTICES ARE HELD AT THE BLACKHAWK BIATHLON CHALET - WINTER PRACTICES START ON NOVEMBER 4TH 2025
The biathlon program at Blackhawk Ski Club has grown from a small group of participants to the leader in expanding biathlon opportunities to youth and adults in Wisconsin and surrounding States. Our masters' biathletes compete locally, nationally and internationally.
The Blackhawk biathlon area is open to club members when participating in practices, introduction to biathlon sessions, or races. The 50-meter biathlon area includes lighting for evening practices and is connected to the man-made snow network of trails.
The use of the Blackhawk biathlon area and equipment is restricted to biathlon practice and races in the presence of an authorized Blackhawk Ski Club Range Marshal. No free shooting or non-biathlon shooting is allowed at Blackhawk Ski Club.
How to become an authorized Blackhawk Biathlete - What you need to do.
Step 1: Contact Ian Olson, ianolson@gmail.com or Ryan Oliver, temperedice@gmail.com, to discuss the master biathlon program at Blackhawk
Step 2: Join Blackhawk in the limited or full membership category. See the membership page for information.
Step 3: Join the United States Biathlon Association. https://usbiathlon.org/membership
Step 4: Complete both online and in person portions of the Basic Rifle Safety Course. https://usbiathlon.org
Step 5: Join the blackhawk-biathlon@googlegroups.com to receive updates on practices or events.
It is expected that master biathletes have their own rifle, ammo and ski equipment. For those just starting out the Blackhawk Masters program has a limited number of rifles to borrow and those may need to be shared with multiple people. After a few practices the expectation would be that a new biathlete would purchase their own rifle.
TWIN VALLEY FARMS EXTENSION
With a huge sense of appreciation, we are excited to announce approval for the extension of the biathlon trail to our neighbors property to the southwest of the range. Eventually, we will add 1.5K of rolling terrain to the existing trail. The extension will only be accessible for Blackhawk biathlon members who are also USBA members. You may not use this extension if you are not both BH and USBA members due to insurance requirements.
