One look at the course map for the 2011 Mammoth Winter Biathlon and you know this is serious business.
It resembles an Olympic course.
It has a stadium built into the hill that looks out to the shooting lanes and across the lanes where competitors will pass three times during the course of the race.
Thus, spectators will be able to keep up on who’s in the lead, how often
the lead changes, who is shooting when and who’s taking their penalty laps.
“Biathlon is changing and becoming much more spectator friendly,” said Race Director Mike Karch.
