Biathlon Canada finds a New summer training gem

Jul 28, 2025 | 2:21 PM

PRINCE GEORGE – The Caledonia Nordic Centre has been drawing significant attention lately from top-tier athletes. Over the past week, several members of the Canadian Biathlon team have been at the facility, sharpening their skills in preparation for competitions around the world.

Seeing nationally ranked Nordic athletes training during the summer in Prince George is quite a rare occurrence. The team is taking a break from their training base in Canmore, Alberta and testing the waters down at the local Nordic centre.

“ It’s an incredible facility. They got the new roller ski track put in last fall, and we heard all about it over the wintertime. We got pretty excited. So we decided that it was absolutely worthwhile to come check out the facility.”

Some of the training focused on the newly paved 3-kilometre roller ski track, which can be compared to those found in Europe.

“A lot of the World Cup courses have these steep uphills. You’ve got to train on them and the flowy downs and the elevation … it’s so similar. So it’s such a good facility to be training at.”

Moria Green is a local athlete who proudly joined the national development team before the paved track was completed. During this training session, she showcased the facility where she honed her skills and developed her passion for the sport.

“It’s just so good to have another place in Canada with a track, and a range it makes such a difference. It’s a new place, the national team coming here is awesome, and it’s just a new place to train, a new place to explore.”

The coach believes there’s a strong possibility that Prince George will be integrated into their training circuit. In the meantime, the team will return to Canmore, while some members will participate in a camp in Salt Lake City.
