It's Easter Long Weekend...and the perfect time to come to the Museum for a Scavenger Hunt...search-and-seek out history and discover all sorts of wonders along the way! Visitors and Locals Welcome (and you're never old to partake!) Jeff Patterson, founder of the International Snowboard Museum, cinematographer and photographer @pattersonimages is one of the esteemed presenters for the April 13 Speakers Series: "Recording the Scene: The POWerful History of Local Snowboard Documentation" ... join us for an exhilarating evening of discussions, presentations, conversations ... and Jeff will have boards on display from his collection! Grab your tickets NOW ... visit www.whistlermsueum.org for the Eventbrite ticket link or purchase in advance at the Museum! Myrtle Philip (co-founder of Rainbow Lodge, established in 1915) with two Pacific Great Eastern Railway Executives, John Quick and Robert Wilson, superintendent of the line, in the 1930s. They stand next to a Ford motor car converted to ride the rails with flanged wheels. TONIGHT!!! ... Added Guests! See you there! Get your tix NOW! Celebrating one of the oldest skateparks in Canada...35 years+ for Whistler's park, and a scene that dates back way before then... come hear tales, banter and beats, reminiscences and reflections... doors open at 6:30 with DJ Vinyl Ritchie spinning 45s on the decks! Whether you prefer organizing events or would rather delve into archival collections, if you're a post-secondary student with an interest in heritage then the Whistler Museum has a summer position for you! “The most exciting thing to watch right now is women's snowboarding, women's skateboarding,” exclaims Jen ‘Jibber’ Godbout. This week's article features the reflections of three pioneering women from the early ‘golden age of snowboarding’ – ‘Punchy’ (Sherry [Newstead] Boyd), ‘Nes’ (Vanessa Stark) and Jibber – on the progression and progress of the sport, of the culture. Snowboarding has been instrumental in carving Whistler's path and placing it on the map internationally. 'Recording the Scene: The POWerful History of Local Snowboard Documentation' is an exciting Speakers Series event taking place on April 13 ... grab your tickets for what promises to be a riveting night of presentations and conversation... Skateboarding has an established history in Whistler...starting much before the 1990 build of the skatepark, 36 years ago! On April 1st, join us for an exciting evening: "Thrashing History: The Evolution of Skateboarding in Whistler" - a Speakers Series featuring @jimbarnum, @jon_martin, @45vinylritchie , @jennifergodbout and the @realwildkittenz ... and original Snake Run designer @montylittle47 just added to the impressive roster of speakers! Skateboarding is not a young sport in Whistler (but youngsters, including Brin Alexander @betterthanthepolice as seen in this pic, from years ago!...and the @realwildkittenz once, or still do, ride the park)... but, locally skateboarding's history dates back decades!
