Biathlon is one of the most challenging winter sports.  If you have ever wanted to try it, now is the time. Come to one of our clinics to learn about the sport.

During our clinics, we will start with basic gun and range safety, followed by shooting practice at the Biathlon targets.  After you get the hang of the shooting at the target, anyone who wants to try it, we will go for a ski on the penalty loop- a short lap – then come in and shoot, then ski the loop again, then shoot again.  Challenge yourself to see how well you can shoot when your heart rate is high from skiing!

Space is limited, and pre-registration is required via e-mail or by calling or texting the lodge 802-765-0016.  If space is available, we will accept drop-ins.

The clinic is $30, in addition to your trail pass and/or rentals, to help cover the cost of rifle maintenance and ammunition.  Clinics will begin at 1pm. Sign in at the lodge, we’ll meet there or on the range, depending on weather conditions.

Clinic dates for 2020-21 will be announced by December 1, 2020.

We’ve started an email list for Biathlon and our Strafford Nordic Ski Club information, you can join it below if you are interested.

Dates will be announced by January 1, 2021

Get in some great skiing and drink craft beer when you are done! This year we are removing the mid-trail stations, so you can get your ski on and then relax in the lodge when you are done with a full pour of your favorite in a souvenir pint glass.

A fire will be available outside – weather permitting-, as well as hot dogs, sausages and other snacks for purchase, or bring your own.

$10 fee for the Brewski includes your souvenir pint glass. Pay cash in the lodge for a pint or two of beer to go in your glass. Growlers are also available for purchase, but must be to go.

Day pass for skiing is also required for skiing on the trail system.

Visit www.brocklebankvt.com for further details. The Brewski is part of the Brocklebank Winter Adventure Series.

Our annual Trail Race goes up hills, across valleys and through the woods of our ski trails. We usually offer a challenging course with great scenery. Our race is super fun and very low key, with Strafford Organic Creamery Milk and home made cookies for all participants after the race.

Should we get snow for race day, we may end up with a ski and snowshoe race.  We will contact those registered in advance should the conditions warrant changing from a run/walk event.
