Filmmakers Bjørn Enga and Christian Begin, through their company Radical Films, developed the iconic Kranked film series, helping document the rise of freeride mountain biking and introducing British Columbia's trails, riders, and mountain culture to audiences around the world. From 16mm film shoots in the forests of Whistler to sold-out premiere nights, the series helped establish Whistler as a global centre for mountain biking and mountain bike storytelling. We were saddened to learn of the passing of Eldon Beck on June 6, 2026. Timber air-drying at Parkhurst Mill on the edges of Green Lake (thought to be taken in the 1930s). Parkhurst - now a ghosttown - began in the 1920s, burnt down in 1938, moved operations to Lost Lake for a bit, before returning and rebuilding on Green Lake. The Parkhurst Mill was in operation into the 1950s. Stories create, craft, cultivate and sustain culture... "A look back at the local census 105 years ago" is the focus of this week's Museum Musings feature. 98 people lived in the Valley back in 1921. The article touches on jobs, marital status, ages of the residents back then -- and celebrates that 15 different countries were listed as place of origin. Whistler continues to be a culture mosaic... DAILY (by Donation!) Walking Tours begin TODAY! We meet at 11 a.m. outside the Visitor Centre...tours are just over an hour! Step into the past, falling into the footfalls of this town's vibrant history! Rain or Shine! "Jurassic Park" is the title of this past week's Museum Musings feature.  The piece explores the geological history of Whistler and Blackcomb mountains, from their formation millions of years ago to the rocks that make up their slopes today. Logging operation at Parkhurst Mill (between 1927-1929), on the edges of Green Lake. The photograph shows the railcar, a spar tree, and the steam donkey. The man standing on the log in the foreground is Ross Barr. Special Exhibition closes on June 14th ... less than a week-and-a-half remains for you to come in and view Through His Lens: The Bruce Rowles Photography Collection.
