02-322-169. Pg. 1. Caption: M. Robert Gourdin, North American sales rep for Moet et Chandon and Hennessy Cognac, topped off this $24,000 tower of Baccarat crystal glasses with a few bottles of bubbly during a special presentation at Delta Mountain Inn March 3. And how to open a bottle of champagne on such a special occasion? Why, with a Napoleonic sabre, of course.
02-322-26. Pg. 2. Caption: Lands, Parks and Housing Minister Tony Brummet (center) was given the royal tour of Whistler March 4 and 5. Brummet was escorted to the top of both Whistler and Blackcomb Mountains Saturday by Hugh Smythe, President of Blackcomb Skiing Enterprises (left) and Franz Wilhelmsen, President of Whistler Mountain Ski Corporation (right) Said Brummet of the development he saw there: "Amazing!".

02-322-120. Pg. 3. Caption: [bottom] Gaudy poles alone Highway 99 disturbed the tranquil view of some motorists. The stripes, which are a plastic mesh and not paint, will be removed by B.C. Hydro soon.
02-322-129. Pg. 5. Caption: A new sound wafted through the air of Whistler Village Saturday, Mar. 5 thanks to Otto Baumann and his Alp horn.

02-322-177. Pg. 6. Caption: [left] Now you see it, now you don't. The WRA has recently invested $13,000 in this amazing piece of collapsible technology which can be used to set up an eye-catching display booth on Whistler in minutes. It's a traveller's delight, for when not extended to its full 12'x20' display size, it neatly collapses into a three ft. tube which weighs less than 30 lbs. -- including the photos. Here Village Coordinator Bob Wick demonstrates the full range of versatility of this latest creation from Silicon Valley.
