Ski to Sea Race Results: A Testament to Teamwork and Community

Ski to Sea is the original multisport relay race, starting from Mt. Baker and ending in Bellingham Bay. This exhilarating event takes place annually on the Sunday of Memorial Day weekend. Ski to Sea is such an exhilarating event; it’s one of those things you need to do at least once in your lifetime!

The variety of activities means there is something for every outdoor enthusiast, whether they like winter sports, water sports, running, or cycling. Returning racers tell us their favorite parts of Ski to Sea are camaraderie and community. From organizing your team to training, racing, and trading stories at the finish line beer garden, Ski to Sea is all about teamwork.

Coming off of Memorial Day Weekend, many team members competed in Bellingham’s annual Ski to Sea relay race, which traverses from Mt. Baker to Bellingham Bay and is comprised of 8 racers: XC Ski, Downhill Ski, Downhill Run, Road Bike, Canoe, Cycolocross and Kayak!

Key Highlights of the Race

Overall it was an incredibly successful event, great for team bonding, a reunion with friends and family, podium finishes, testaments of health, and all types of weather experienced. We had a blast racing from Mt. Baker to Bellingham Bay with friends and enjoying the beautiful region. Girls Rule.

Ski to Sea is hands-down my favorite race I’ve ever raced.

Individual Leg Results

Here are some notable individual results from the race:

• XC Ski: Corrine Malcolm (28:45, Kulshan Cycles, Div. Pl.)
• DH Ski:
  • Scarlett Graham (26:22, Car-Free Team, Humana Robur, Div. Pl.)
  • Amber Morrison (27:22, Kulshan Cycles, Div. Pl.)
  • Aly Howisey (30:46, SHEroes, Div. Pl.)

  • Courtney Olsen (40:37, Kulshan Cycles, Div. Pl.)
  • Lydia Carrick (45:22, CorePhysio, Div. Pl.)
  • Alyson Klein (45:52, SHEroes, Div. Pl.)

The perfect lead up and preparation and conditions never exist. At least not consistently.

On Sunday Al asked if I would switch legs with her because the snow was slow. Like I pride myself on versatility and flexibility but now I’m having “did I pack my poles” nightmares and blurry visions of popping out of my bindings. The answer was yes, bundled with nerves and fake confidence.
