Excited to take on the role of Biathlon Coordinator this year to help with the Chelsea biathlon program. Looking forward to working with all the coaches and athletes and helping to coordinate and facilitate the programs so that we can all work towards our goals on and off the trails.
I’m looking forward to working with all the biathletes to improve their shooting skills this summer and fall. This will be another exciting season of racing domestically and internationally. Ski Fast - Shoot Straight.

The Picard family joined the club and its community in 2010. Tony has enjoyed many years of coaching in both adventure and race and has taken pleasure in teaching the “fundamentals” of cross country skiing.
This is my first year as Club Treasurer. I have worked in finance in the UK, NZ & USA, but I readily admit to being a bit rusty! Our family has only been members/lived in Chelsea since 2017 but we have felt very welcome in the Chelsea Nordiq community from day one. Our daughter has benefited enormously from being part of this amazing club (mostly in the Race program), so I am grateful to be able to give back in this way. I hope, as a board, we can build on the great work that has gone before.

His goal is to continue contributing to the development and promotion of Chelsea Nordiq for the benefit of the community.
