It’s one of the few sports that is near impossible to get into in California. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

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. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
