Paul D. Burrows first arrived in Canada from England in 1960 and came to Alta Lake by train in 1965 to ski. He worked as Ski Patrol for a season in 1966 and later on the Pro Patrol, all the while squatting in a rented trailer.

Burrows resumed his job as a ski patroller on Whistler Mountain while also working construction. He was active in the community, belonging to the Rotary Club, the Museum Board, and the Alta Lake District Ratepayers Association (president 1972/73), making an unsuccessful run for mayor in 1975, and serving as alderman in the 1980s.

Alexander 'Alex' C. Bunbury was a land surveyor and the co-founder, along with his son Paul, of Bunbury Associates. His surveying projects included the Trans Mountain Pipeline, B.C.

Bunbury was active in the Whistler community, serving as a member of North Shore Rescue, the Ski Patrol, the Fire Department, the Museum and Archives Society, and the Advisory Planning Board. An adventurous skier, he pioneered the Couloir run on Blackcomb Mountain, which was formerly known as Bunbury Chute. He also managed his sons' soccer teams.
