Bellingham Herald story on how the Mount Baker Club's original 1911 Mount Baker Marathon inspired the present day Ski to Sea Race.

Introducing the Mount Baker Club 2008 Ski to Sea team!  The team this year features some new faces and several returning athletes:
• XC ski – David Dean returns for his fourth year on the crucial starting leg. We are certain he will get us off to a fast start, as he has the past three years.
• Downhill Snowboard – Keith Knutson returns for his second go at the mountain, looking to best his impressive time from ’07!
• Runner – Brian Kingsberry will lash the pavement of this most brutal leg in his fourth appearance on our team!
• Cyclist – Peter Cutbill joins our team for the first time. Welcome! He’s cycled the course before on other teams, and is a strong addition to our line up.
• Canoe – Beau Woods and Levi Markowski will navigate the Nooksack for the first time in 2008. They’re young, they’re strong…and they have a new canoe! They are determined to put in the best time ever on this leg for the club.
• Mountain Bike – Mike Koepp is back for his third year on our team, and his time gets better each year!
• Kayak – Ed Lutz returns for a third year to battle the waves and the other contestants. Ed is the Team Captain for 2008.

This is an invitation to all Club members to get out on Race Day and cheer on the team!
 

The Mount Baker Club is proud to have initiated the concept and event back in 1911 as a way to promote the area and its recreational assets. 

With support from the Bellingham Chamber of Commerce, along with the numerous business and corporate sponsors and of course, the volunteers, the Ski to Sea Race is the best all around relay race in the world today, and definitely the most fun!
