Whistler’s Answers: July 17, 1986Whistler’s Answers: July 17, 1986
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 1986. 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: Do you find the drive hazardous from Vancouver to Whistler?
Becky Kusche – Student – Arizona
As a tourist, I don’t think there are enough signs directing you where to go. You drive up the highway and don’t know which turn to take, but we have roads in Arizona that are twice as bad as that.
Dominique Larocque – Recreation Coordinator – Sturgeon Falls, Ont.
You asked the right person because I just cycled it. One problem was logging trucks. A second was the cracks in the pavement. There is also no space on the side to get out of the way of cars. In a car you wouldn’t notice those things.
Gary Cropley – Wholesaler – Delta
I’ve never found it hazardous. It’s actually a fun drive – one of the reasons we come up here. We come skiing in the winter and I’ve never had any problems on it. I find the drive a relaxing one.
