Located at the ideal training altitude, ranging between 1,250 and 1,450 metres (4,200 to 4,800 feet) above sea level, Hanna Creek features a 4km groomed loop trail and 15 shooting lanes located under the surrounding Monashee Mountains. Adjacent to and connected to the Blackjack Cross Country Ski club which features an additional 30 plus kilometres of trails and 20 km from the Castlegar Nordic Club`s 45 kilometres of groomed trails the Hanna Creek Biathlon is ideally situated in the center of a multi venue Nordic skiing destination.

Opened in 2006 to host the BC Winter Games, the range is currently undergoing an expansion to bring it up to National Team standards including lengthening the trail loop to 5km and increasing the shooting lanes from 15 to 22.

Situated among a towering forest of cedar and spruce trees with inspiring views of the Monashee mountains Hanna Creek`s high elevation and consistent snowfall provide ideal training opportunities from mid November through late April.

12 km from downtown Rossland, Hanna Creek is a 15 minute drive from Rossland and located 8 km from the Blackjack Nordic Club and 20 km from the Castlegar Nordic Club. The Nordic ski destination is only a twenty minute drive north of the Canada/US Border, a 2.5 hour drive from Spokane International Airport (Washington State) and 3.5 hour drive from Kelowna International Airport. The Trail regional airport is a 20 minute drive east, and Castlegar regional airport is a 30 minute drive north.
