The Mount Baker Ski to Sea is a 7-leg Team Relay Race from the summit of Mount Baker to Bellingham Bay, open to everyone! Step 1, grab your homies. Step 2, divvy up the 7 legs (Cross Country Ski, Uphill/Downhill Ski/Snowboard, Road Run, Road Bike, Canoe, Cyclocross Bike, & Sea Kayak) across said group of homies. Step 3, figure out car shuttle logistics. Step 4, race from the Mount Baker Ski Area to across Bellingham Bay before it gets dark!
This video edit is of Team 351 from 2024, Maddie and the Misfits. We definitely killed it on Step 1, grabbing a good group of homies. We also didn't really film much in the way of action. Instead, this video tries to capture the general vibes of the day. Good times indeed!
