"Raine + Beck and others conceived and planned this beautiful place. The mix of nature and fantastic amenities makes this a special place. There is/was a balance. We are losing this balance because we have not managed our success. We are getting too big for this valley, we will lose the balance. Capacities are stretched everywhere. We must get control."

Kary York

Draw entry answer by Kary York for the Whistler Museum event "Whistler's Mountain Identity [...]". In response to the question "What would you like to say about the past, present, and future of Whistler's Mountain Identity?" Kary responded:

"Past: The mountain was in its infancy, before the crowds & masses discovered it.
Now: Vail takes over - what does that mean? Better infrastructure, higher prices on food, more ritzy? Can they bring even more people? Do they want to?
Future: Better transportation, more options with service for non-skiers, those that want a different winter experience and summer - more variety of events - more mountain options."
