The last instalment of biologist Kristina Swerhun's (coordinator of the Museum's Discover Nature Program) article series highlighting Whistler as a dynamic and diverse ecological place... We honour Mother's Day today with a formal portrait of Myrtle Philip (née Tapley) and her brother Phil Tapley as children in 1894. Myrtle is about 3 years old. Mountaineer and government surveyor Charles Townsend is found taking a break (likely on Wedge Mountain) in 1923. Para-skiing off of Blackcomb Mountain has launched an array of all sorts of bright colours across the Valley's skies over the years. Photographer Bruce Rowles captures the silhouette of a snowboarder during the Big Air Competition, part of the 1998 World Ski and Snowboard Festival. Wayne Wong teaching moguls technique and the T-bar from the top, in 1979 (photo caption says "note lack of snow"). 'Just because it was documented, doesn’t mean we have it…' heads this week's article which sets off to dispel some of the main misconceptions, and shed light on the process, of how the local Museum's collection broadens ... Toni Sailer and Nancy Greene Raine on the World Cup Downhill course in 1979. The 60 year legacy of Summer Ski Camps, first established by Toni and for which Nancy coached is the focus of a special Speakers Series event on MAY 1: 'A Celebration of Summer Ski Camps on Whistler Mountain'. 'Through His Lens: The Bruce Rowles Photography Collection' Special Exhibition has its soft opening this evening at 6:30. The exhibit celebrates the bright, the bold, the nuance and storytelling quality of Rowles' photographic journey.
