The Vancouver Island Biathlon Club a is based in the beautiful nordic ski area of Mt Washington Alpine Resort near Courtenay, BC. Mt Washington has over 55 km of groomed trails that cover a variety of terrain, much of it in, or overlooking spectacular Strathcona Provincial Park.
Our club boasts one of the best, fully-automated ranges in British Columbia, with 26 shooting lanes. The club hut, located steps away from the range provides a heated place to warm up, watch the action on the range and spend time with other club members.
The Vancouver Island Biathlon Club not only promotes the exhilarating sport of biathlon, but also brings the community together through sportsmanship and healthy living. Many of the lessons learned in this sport can carry over to other aspects of life. Teamwork, discipline, hard work, perseverance, and success are all experiences that will be encountered later in sport and in life.
Programs are offered for ages 9+, with both recreational and competition streams having a low participant-to-coach ratio for optimum learning and safety. Please check out the Programs section for more details.
The Vancouver Island Biathlon Club also hosts a number of races or other events to promote or support the sport of biathlon on Vancouver Island. Please see the Races and Events sections for more details.
