Tuesday Evening report.

Amazing how the groomers from 4site managed to get the Sprint loop in operation for the Biathlon today and from all reports it was a very successful event.

Last night the Valhalla course was built and tonight is being groomed and promises to be a very good track. Hopefully it will hold for others to enjoy later in the week.

Wednesday will see hundreds on the cross country course up on Valhalla plateau and Thursday, the younger biathletes will be on the sprint course.

On Wednesday, please be aware, no unauthorised vehicles will be permitted anywhere in the vicinity of Candle Heath road, with the exception of vehicles allocated to lodges on that road. Enforcement officers will be on duty to monitor traffic and the safety of competitors and parents. Due to the restricted snow cover and space, all schools are requested not to erect any tents /gazebos etc. There is space for tents up above the Nordic shelter.

Wednesday's groom request is, Valhalla, Sprint loop and 3.5km
