Our Annual Tradition:
Pre-season Kickoff Party!

You’ve heard it from me before: November is the only bad month to play outdoors in the PNW. So let’s all party inside and talk about doing the thing! Come join us on November 15 to get excited about the upcoming Skimo season! Hosted by our friends at Pro Ski, there will be exciting race information, door prizes, gear discounts, yummy drinks on tap, and of course, great company. We would love to see you and share what's in store for this upcoming season! Doors open at 7pm. 

New Goat on the Team

A big step for our little organization, Skimo Northwest hired it’s first employee this fall, Josephine Bond. Our nonprofit has been run solely by volunteers up to this point, with some limited paid race day staff like photographers and timers. As Richard transitions out of the Head Race Director role, Josephine will step in with a lot of the race coordination behind the scenes.

Hailing from Bellingham, Josephine is an all around mountain lover who skis, paddles, runs, climbs, and does all the things. Most of all, she loves building the outdoor community through events like SnowGoat! Let’s give her a big mountain goat BLEAT to welcome her to the team!
