This program has grown from what was the MadNorSki SilverSki program and the Blackhawk Biathlon program in 2003-2004. This year the programs will be combined and geared at pre high school youth that are interested in cross-country ski racing. First year participants can try the program to December 15th with out paying the fee but must be a Blackhawk Member. Participants should have some previous experience and skills at cross country skiing and it is recommended they have their own ski equipment. Biathlon shooting is optional in this program. We will meet rain (snow) or shine. Air rifles are used on a 10–meter biathlon range. All participants are taught first and foremost safety when shooting air rifles. Participants will meet 2 nights per week.
The Biathlon programs are of several types. There is a youth program that meets twice a week in the evenings, and there has been a loose nit group of adults (men and women) that practice every now and then. The biathlon program uses .177 caliber air rifles that have harnesses and sights similar to the .22 caliber rifles used in a regulation biathlon event.

Through the year we have several ski and biathlon races that are always a lot of fun. The only cost to get involved in the biathlon program for adults is to help with range set up and trail work. There is a small fee for the youth program. The club has several air rifles for members to use when a range marshal is present.
