Biathlon lessons for kids at Tahoe Donner

In the spirit of this Olympic year, Tahoe Donner Cross Country Ski Center is offering a junior biathlon program led by former U.S. biathlon team member Tom McElroy.

This will be an introduction of skiing and rifle marksmanship for children in grades 2-8.

The guns are specially designed laser biathlon rifles. There will be eight classes on Tuesdays from 3:45-5pm starting Jan. 14. Participants must have basic ski handling skills. The cost is $120.

Clinics for adults are also available.
