Before Whistler became the popular skiing haven it is today, if was full of explorers, loggers and settlers. Their stories make for fascinating reading in this anecdotal history that depicts a vivid life in the ‘valley of dreams’. The writers drew from an extensive collection of photographs from the Whistler Museum and Archives. This book is a timely celebration of the resort’s colourful past.
Whistler Reflections is one of the best local histories yet produced in our province. As an author and BC historian I know full well the amount of work and research that must have gone into this fine addition to our local literature. Florence, Sally and Janet should be commended for their efforts. They’ve authored a poignant and thoughtful book that captures the spirit of adventure of Whistler’s pioneers.
