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."

Draw entry answer by Ivana 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?" Ivana responded:

"I think we should slow down or even better stop any future development and focus on quality of our relationship with the mountain, not on quantity of visitors."
