In the 1980s the Whistler Question began posing a question to three to six people and publishing their responses under “Whistler’s Answers” (not to be confused with the Whistler Answer). Each week, we’ll be sharing one question and the answers given back in 1984. Please note, all names/answers/occupations/neighbourhoods represent information given to the Question at the time of publishing and do not necessarily reflect the person today.
Some context for this week’s question: This one seems pretty self explanatory, so we think we’ll leave it there.
Question: How was the skiing?
Peter Silvanovich – Manager – North Vancouver
Well, as Tony the Tiger says – Gr-r-r-r-eat! That’s cause there were no crowds, the sun was shining and the snow was first rate. Only one complaint – we had to wait about 30 seconds in a lift line-up.
Jon Marker – Claims Adjuster – Toronto
I’m from the east, and it’s a lot different here. The snow’s a lot softer and I’m used to hard-pack and ice. It’s been fantastic. On a scale of one to 10, probably this is about an eight – nothing’s perfect.
John Hatfull – Counsellor – Vancouver
It’s been the first time for me, and it’s been great. I was here once before and I like the feel of the place, so I decided to come back and give skiing a try. I’ve been falling down a lot, but it’s worth it. I’m really enthused.
