Carpool up the Mountain on Race Day

with "It all Begins in Barkley!"
For Racers and Volunteers going up the Mountain the Barkley Business Association is sponsoring "It all Begins in Barkley!" Park your cars, have some coffee and free treats! Then head up to the Mountain! Parking will be available in the East Barkley Village Parking Lot, and North of Barkley Blvd. Just follow the signs! Coffee will be served from 5:30-6:30 AM!

Reducing the number of vehicles on the road is the easiest step you can take to reducing your carbon footprint. Ski to Sea Teams and the general public can post messages in the Ski to Sea Community Fourm if they are looking for a ride to a Race Leg location in the County or if they can provide a ride. Check it out!

Be Green on Race Day!

May 25 - Sunday
Park & Ride really works for getting to Marine Park Finish Line and "It All Ends in Fairhaven" Festival. Starting at 12 noon a bus leaves every 10 to 15 minutes from the 'C' parking lot (West College Way and Bill McDonald Parkway) on the south end of the Western Washington University campus and returns from Fairhaven just as often up to 8 pm. Free parking at the campus and only a dollar for the 5 minute ride. The stop in Fairhaven is at 12th and McKenzie, within one block of the party. Follow the signs from I-5 exit 252. It really works. Go Green. Compliments of Old Fairhaven Association, Bellingham/Whatcom Chamber of Commerce, WTA, and Western Washington University.

Be Green on Junior Race Day!
May 17 - Saturday
Be Green! The Green Team for the Ski to Sea Race has arranged for a shuttle bus to run continuously from the Lincoln Creek Park and Ride (the old Samish Drive-In) to Lake Padden. All volunteers, parents, spectators, and racers are encouraged to use this shuttle and avoid the parking rush at Lake Padden. No charge for this shuttle. Compliments of Bellingham/Whatcom Chamber of Commerce & Industry.

Please Recycle at both races.
We will have special recycle bins available for paper, plastic, and food both at Lake Padden and Marine Park. Watch for special signs.

Green Team for the Ski to Sea Race!
March 2008 - The Bellingham Chamber of Commerce & Industry and the Ski to Sea Race Committee has formed a “Ski to Sea Green Team” that will look at ways in which the Ski to Sea Race can reduce its carbon footprint during this year’s race and all future races. Ryzek, headquartered in Bellingham, WA, is assisting us in this effort, along with a group of community minded recreation and business stewards. Ryzek's Bellingham, Washington location is already 100% waste free and other locations are being prepared for the same by the end of 2007. If you have an idea for the Ski to Sea Green Team, please send it to: SkitoSea@Bellingham.com
