BELLINGHAM, WA (MyBellinghamNow.com) – Ski to Sea has announced that the ski legs are officially on for this year’s race.

Ski to Sea director Anna Rankin announced in a social media post that the Mount Baker Ski Area has confirmed there will be enough snow to keep the relay race’s opening stages.

“Thank you to all of you for your patience through all of this. We’re truly excited that we’re going to have the ski legs this year,” Rankin said. “We’re going to have a true Ski to Sea and we’re looking forward to seeing you all on May 26 Memorial weekend.”

They were previously unsure that they could hold the ski legs due to a low snowpack.

Race organizers add that the cross-country course will be slightly different this year. More information will be released in the coming weeks.

The Jr. Ski to Sea race takes place this weekend, so the cross-country course will be closed for practice on Friday, May 10 and Saturday, May 11 until noon.
