Biathlon Yukon will be holding an Open House for the Bears in the fall of 2020.  Come and get a sample of what you will be doing this winter!  
Training will start once there is snow on the ground! Which will probably the end of November.  Training is on Sundays and starts right at 1:00.  Please come up early and get familiar with the Den and make sure your athlete is ready to get going right on time.
