Biathlete from California? :yikes:

I know right! I think we have one club in Tahoe. It’s one of the few sports that is near impossible to get into in California.

Lots of snow in California - more than six months a year sometimes up in the north-East.

Not this year (yet). We’re like the one place that hasn’t gotten much snow. However, we’ve been slammed with some storms this week, and so there’s a little more now.

 

First snow in the Sierra Nevada and Southern Cascades generally comes in October. Snow lasts well into April/May.

If I remember correctly, he is training in Norway.  Also the 1960 Olympics were in Squaw Valley, CA, home of the first Olympic Biathlon.  Lots of snow out there.

Edit - He skies with Asker Ski Club in Asker, Norway - https://www.facebook.com/AskerSkiklubb.offisiell/

 

There is another American who trained/trains in Europe - Vasek Cervenka (Grand Rapids, Minn.)  He is a dual Czech/US citizen, his father was a Czechslovak biathlete back in the day.
