Biathlon Faq's ASC TRAINING CENTER ALPINE – BIATHLON – NORDIC – SNOWBOARD FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT BIATHLON HOW DO I JOIN ASC BIATHLON? To join the ASC Biathlon Program, you must first complete an Intro to Biathlon Clinic where you will learn the basics of biathlon marksmanship and what is expected in terms of safety on our range. Upon completion of the clinic, you will be eligible to join either our Devo or Novice Masters biathlon teams (depending on your age). These teams offer more in depth coaching and development of not only your shooting, but skiing technique and overall fitness. I'VE NEVER SHOT A RIFLE BEFORE. CAN I JOIN THE TEAM? Yes, you may! You must still go through the process of joining the team listed above, but no prior shooting experience is required. I'VE NEVER CROSS COUNTRY SKIED BEFORE. CAN I JOIN THE TEAM? Having little to no skiing background will make your involvement in biathlon difficult. Marksmanship is such a detailed and complex sport, it will be difficult to learn shooting and skiing at the same time. There is also a safety component to factor in; someone who is not competent skiing with a rifle is a danger to everyone on the team. Our suggestion is to take a season and commit to refining your ski technique before considering biathlon. I HAVE A 'GUN'. CAN I USE IT ON THE BIATHLON RANGE? Only Biathlon-specific .22 caliber rifles are permitted on the biathlon range. MY CHILD IS INTERESTED IN BIATHLON. WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS? This is great to hear! At ASC we value rifle safety above all else. For new members we spend the first few months really driving home the importance of safety and developing good habits while shooting. Our Devo Biathlon Team is designed to establish the foundation for later biathlon success, while our Comp team is designed to take high school athletes to the national and even international level. In the short history of this team we’ve had three athletes qualify for Junior World Championships and one athlete represent the USA at Youth Olympic Games. The ASC Biathlon Program’s goal is to provide the resources for motivated athletes to achieve their potential. ASC TRAINING CENTER P.O.

(Stoltenberg II Government) 1 Introduction and summary In this white paper, the Government provides information on the Norwegian export control system for weapons, ammunition and other military materiel1 and dual-use goods2. The white paper lists actual exports in 2007 of defence materiel on the Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ List I3, and of appurtenant technology. List I contains both Category A materiel, i.e. weapons and ammunition and other materiel that could affect the military balance of power beyond the immediate vicinity, and Category B materiel, i.e. other equipment specially developed or modified for military use. The total value of exports in 2007 was approximately NOK 3.6 billion. Sales of goods accounted for about NOK 3.2 billion of this, services for about NOK 308 million and repair work for owners in other countries for about NOK 130 million. Category A materiel accounted for just over NOK 2 billion and Category B materiel for about NOK 1.2 billion. By way of comparison, the total value of exports in 2006 was about NOK 3.5 billion. In 2007, 92% by value of exports of Category A materiel and 84% by value of exports of Category B materiel went to NATO countries and to Sweden and Finland. The total value of exports of Category B materiel dropped markedly, by almost 22% from 2006, while exports of Category A materiel rose in value by about 45%.

Both were important factors in the growth of Utah. Both are included in the exciting history of Park City. Silver Mining At one time, Park City mines were some of the richest in the United States! Silver mines, discovered in Park City, brought wealth, power, influence and opportunity to a few lucky men. While most miners remained poor and worked in dangerous conditions underground, a few used luck, hard work and knowledge to become extremely rich! One of these miners was Thomas Kearns. Kearns was a teenager when he left home to seek his fortune in the mines. After arriving in Park City, he first worked as a mucker (a poor worker who shoveled ore into the underground ore wagons). He used his knowledge of mining and ore veins to stake a claim in a mine that he thought might be rich in silver. His hunch proved to be correct, and he became a millionaire! The Silver King Mine, in Park City, provided this Irish Catholic miner with great wealth and power. At the beginning of the 1900’s, successful miners like, Thomas Kearns, changed the image of downtown Salt Lake City by building fabulous mansions on South Temple. The Kearns Mansion, an elegant reminder of Park City’s exciting past, was donated to the state and is now Utah’s Governor’s Mansion.
