Ready, aim, fire! Paralympic biathlon athlete Kevin Burton competes in a race Thursday morning near Sun Valley. The event was part of the Sun Valley Nordic Festival, which culminates this weekend with the Boulder Mountain Tour cross-country skiing race on Saturday and an equipment demo on Sunday. Burton, whose vision is impaired, is one of 16 biathlon athletes going to compete this March in the 2014 Winter Paralympic Games in Sochi, Russia, where the Winter Olympics will be held in February.
