Description:
|
Cross-country skiing, luge, bobsled, skeleton and biathlon, sounds like you are watching the Winter Olympics, except instead of watching, you are participating. At the Olympic Sports Complex at Mt. Van Hoevenberg, a mecca for world-class athletes, you can live out your perfect outdoor adventure.
The Storm bobsled ride is a sure shot for adrenaline junkies. The professional driver and brakeman guide you down a track that routinely challenges the best athletes in the world. This is one of only three actual bobsled rides in North and South America. The cross-country ski area offers over 30 miles of world-class ski trails. Whether you want a gently rolling ski or an intense workout we have something for everyone. With two dedicated trails the snowshoeing guests can get off the beaten path. You can also test your skills on the same targets used by winter biathletes for World Cup competitions. With .22 rifles and a 50 meter shooting distance, the fully qualified range attendants will teach you to be a Biathlete, while the ski instructors teach you to ski like one.
Call ahead for hours and tour and lesson information.
