A note about the Falcon Combined: This a great opportunity to experience a full range of Nordic Events both in Cross Country Skiing and Biathlon. On day one, the new format of CCSAM Provincial Sprint Championship is King’s Court where every heat matters towards final placing as per age categories and the competition is coed. This format has been run successfully in Canmore and Thunder Bay in cup races this year. Following awards, the Biathlon Range will be open courtesy of Biathlon MB for those 11+ who wish to experience shooting for the first time.
For day two if you have ever dreamed of participating in a Biathlon event we have developmental categories set up in Sunday’s Biathlon MB’s sprint race. You will also have an opportunity to see our Biathletes in action who have been making their mark this year with impressive performances across Canada.
Finally, as a family Nordic center Falcon Ridge is fantastic! Downhill skiing, snowboarding, tubing and of course cross country skiing is right there. Falcon Ridge has a warm chalet with a restaurant and (often) live music.
