Following a mix of precipitation in January, staff at Brookvale have been using the snow machines day and night to build coverage for the alpine and Nordic courses.
Following a mix of precipitation in January, staff at Brookvale have been using the snow machine to build coverage for the alpine hills.P.E.I.’s biathlon team had only trained on the Nordic course once as of Feb. 9 and it was only on a small portion of it.The reason behind that is Curley wants to preserve the snow along the course as much as possible without anyone using it.
“Certainly, it would have been nice to have an actual snowfall to seal the deal … but, for the most part, the coverage that we have we’ll be able to work with.’’ Curley anticipates the snow-making machine will be working right up to the opening of the Games, and that means the biathlon team will be limited on how much of the course it can train on.
Caitlin Campbell, head coach of P.E.I.’s biathlon team, told SaltWire Network on Feb. 9 that her four-member squad has been practising off-Island since Dec. 3. Campbell added that it’s disappointing not to have more of a home-field advantage, but her team is ready to go.
