Please, let’s not forget

The last edition had two letters to the editor on much the same subject. One was from a woman named Lisa Richardson, who I have never met, titled, “ ‘Big picture’ IPP planning urged,” Question, Dec. 18). The second was titled, “Selling off our legacy”

Giving back to small business

I am writing to ask the citizens of Whistler to give a gift back to a small independent business this Christmas season. Nothing could mean more to a small Whistler business than to know you made a special effort to buy local and to buy at least one item

Paul Ruiterman (Legal drugs the most frequent killers, study finds, Question, Dec. 18) got a bull’s-eye exposing one facet of North America’s drug problems. Now let’s expose what is not legal: cannabis (marijuana). The relatively safe, socially

‘World-class response’ lauded

I was as distressed to learn of the Excalibur Gondola tower problem as I was honoured to participate in the Peak 2 Peak opening last weekend.

Locals, guests are well-served

It was with a great deal of pride that I watched Whistler Blackcomb’s rapid response to the failure of Tower 4 on the Excalibur Gondola. From top management, right on down through the ranks, they came on scene, each performed their well-practiced task,

Actions of a ‘coward’ decried

On Dec. 10, 2008, the wife and I were skiing on Blackcomb Mountain. We were halfway down the first hill on Choker, just above the first jump of the Terrain Park. I heard a scraping sound and looked up the hill. A snowboarder was travelling very fast and

Advance warning?

If only a local resident had taken it upon himself to make a phone call, the Excalibur tower break and subsequent negative publicity might have been avoided. I had CTV Newsnet on when I heard about the tower break. They had a phone conversation with a

WB deserves thanks, praise

On behalf of Tourism Whistler and our Board of Directors, I would like to thank Whistler Blackcomb, along with the resort’s emergency response crews, for their speedy reaction time and thorough support for our resort guests during and after the recent

Kudos to WB for Excalibur response

Having witnessed the re-opening of the upper line of the Excalibur Gondola on Dec. 20, and knowing that crews are working to repair and open the lower line as quickly as possible, I’m compelled to write and say, on behalf of the Board of Directors of the
