Short Notice
Outings |
More and better
than ever.
Don't let the short days, and wet weather of the fall
and winter keep you homebound. Members take advantage of
breaks in the weather, matching outings to prevailing
conditions. See a sampling of some of the many outings
that our members have experienced and enjoyed in just
the last few weeks at the
NW Trails Blog. |

Ski to Sea
Team Rocks! |
Individual
team members posted excellent race times, but the
cancellation of the canoe leg threw the finishing
positions out of whack. This year our team was credited
with a 227th place finish, (in a field of 435 teams)
although we are certain that if our canoeists had been
able to get onto the river, we would have placed higher.
Club Ski to Sea team fans will be relieved to learn that
each of our team members has risen to the challenge and
has agreed to return to Battle the Course again in 2009.
Next Year!
• 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.

Mission of the Mount Baker Club
Welcome to the Mount Baker Club. For over 90 years our all volunteer organization has served the Whatcom County region.

Our purpose is to provide regular opportunities for hiking, biking, snow-shoeing, cross-country skiing, canoeing, and kayaking, as well as, monthly social activities. We also promote the conservation of recreational areas which are of interest to the club's members. A great way to meet new friends and explore the area. All events and activities are open to the public at no charge.
