The Whistler Answer was the voice of alternative culture in Whistler. Running from 1977 – 1982 with a second run in 1992 – 1993, it was the expression of the ski bum population of Whistler in its early days as a ski resort.
The Answer was so-called because the only serious local paper at the time was the Whistler Question. The Answer aimed to be the alternative voice to this paper, billing itself as “For those tired of questions.”
