It was back on the road for some of Yellowknife’s best young biathletes as they took in Polar Cup 2 at the Hay River Ski Club on March 5 and 6.
The weekend was split into two events: a mass start on day one, where everyone starts at the same time, and the pursuit, which features a staggered-start format.
Here’s how the Yellowknife contingent fared on both days:
