CCBC Officials Training Course

Telemark will be hosting several races this season and needs volunteers to assist our primary organizers. These roles are vital for our club to be able at-home events for our skiers. The last race Telemark hosted was the last official CCBC race since before the Pandemic!

These races include:

Please consider taking the CCBC Officials Course (via Zoom) on December 11th.  Registration deadline is December 2nd.

Register online here

The OL1 training is a full-day course that provides an overview of what a cross country ski competition is all about.  The focus is on the duties of minor officials for both ‘Olympic’ style (interval start, mass start, pursuit start, individual sprint, team sprint and relay) and ‘Loppet’ style (mass participation) competitions.  The minimum age is 16 years as of the start of the course. 

Being that this course is being done via Zoom, the cost has been reduced to $50 for CCBC members.  Once registered, each attendee will receive an automated email receipt that they can then submit for reimbursement from Telemark.

Hello Biathlon Families!

The registration for the first BIATHLON BC Cup in less than 2 months(!) will be opening soon. Here are the accommodation details for the race.

Who:

This race is a good event for the L2C, T2T (armband) and Master’s groups

Location of Race:

Whistler Olympic Park – Venue of the 2010 Winter Olympics

Dates:

  • Plan to be at the Biathlon range on Friday Dec 17 for official training at 12:30
  • Plan on returning to Kelowna after the awards ceremony on Sunday Dec 19

Accommodations: At away races, we prefer to stay as a team at the same accommodations in order to simplify pre-race meetings and to build team spirit. These away races can be a lot of fun.

For this event, the host organizing committee has arranged an accommodation/catering service through the Whistler Athletes Center. and the Whistler Food Company. The Whistler Athlete’s centre is a dorm-style accommodation with single occupancy or double occupancy options. The Whistler Food Company does a pretty good job with catered meals for athletes. Biathlon BC has been using them for their training camps.
