THE LATEST FROM SOLDIER HOLLOW
Construction is underway on Soldier Hollow Nordic Center’s competition building, bolstering its potential as a worldclass destination for biathlon and cross-country skiing. The expanded and renovated facility in Midway will include a cafe, lounge, multi-use event space, retail shop, training area and team clubhouse. The $13.5 million project will add 19,115 square feet to the current 7,670-square-foot structure. Much of the project will be completed in time to host the IBU Biathlon World Cup in March, while final completion is slated for early summer 2024.
The United States Biathlon Association is relocating its headquarters from New Gloucester, Maine, to Soldier Hollow Nordic Center. The center was the venue for biathlon and Nordic skiing for the 2002 Salt Lake Olympic Winter Games. With this new western home base, the organization is tapping into already prominent Nordic skiing communities to strengthen its support and national presence. In Midway, the association gains extensive exposure to worldclass international events while working on its goal to double participation in the sport.
