The Need for Nordic Improvements

Kincaid Park is known throughout the world as a center for Nordic skiing and serves as one of the few locations in the United States for the development of biathlon. The park has hosted national and international competition ranging from World Cup events to the 2003 national championships.

Now with the newly completed biathlon range, we can attract even more of these events. In fact, our new range just hosted an international event and the range and course received rave reviews from the U.S. Biathlon system.

The final touches on the new course include the construction of a range control building and a paved training trail. This trail will connect to the existing trail system, and will allow for year-round training for biathletes.

New Snowmaking System

Near Completion is a new 3-km looped system that will provide snowmaking for the park's trails. The system can make snow that can be moved to other areas of the park when there is a lack of natural snow. This system could potentially extend the ski season another 1-2 months, as well as ensure that races and community events are not cancelled when snow cover is inadequate.
