Quesnel Biathletes endured an extremely cold weekend at the BC Cup 2/Western Championships, in Prince George, Feb1-2.
Race time was delayed on Saturday by 30 minutes, and 1 hour on Sunday, in order to let temperatures warm-up to an acceptable -20, which is the cut-off for racing.
The low temperatures made loading clips very tricky with frozen fingers, and made shooting extremely challenging.
Trail conditions were good, but the cold made the snow extremely slow, with not much glide.
Despite the cold weather conditions, our athletes did well!
