This is an in-person event
Ski to Sea is Whatcom County’s own Cannonball Run, and it’s the thing where you race 93 miles from Mt. Baker to Bellingham Bay in ONE DAY by using seven different, uh, sports. Your team of between three and eight people starts off at the Mt. Baker Ski Area at 7:30 a.m. and finishes in Bellingham’s Marine Park at 6 p.m., which kind of doesn’t seem like enough time! The race involves two kinds of skiing, one of which can be swapped out with snowboarding, then running, then canoeing, then biking, then cyclocross biking (we don’t know what that is), and finally kayaking, which is distinct from canoeing. Do not try to canoe the kayak part or cyclocross the snowboard part or you are fired from this race. Winners win nothing but The Burn.
