History
Doreen Fairhurst was an early Whistler resident. She married Dick Fairhurst in Vancouver in 1943, and the couple honeymooned at Jordan's Lodge on Nita Lake in Whistler. Dick decided the couple should stay and make a life in the valley, and the couple bought two lots on the West side of Alta Lake the following year. While Dick was working for Alf Gebhart at the Rainbow Lumber Mill Company, supplementing his income by trapping on Rainbow, Blackcomb, and Whistler mountains, catching mostly marten and beavers. Life at Alta Lake was very different from city life and was not to Doreen’s tastes. As a result, the couple divorced in 1948 and Doreen left the valley, while Dick remained and decided to try his hand in the early tourism industry.
