Saudan Couloir: The History of North America’s Most Extreme Ski Race

Posted on March 14, 2018 | Leave a comment

With the Saudan Couloir Ski Race Extreme returning this April we’re taking a look back at the original run of the legendary race. This new exhibit opens Tuesday, March 20 with special guests Dave Clement (part of creating the first race), Chris Kent (winner of the first four races) and more. The exhibit will run through the end of April.

Creekside development in the 1960s was nothing like the Creekside you can see today. Before lifts started carrying skiers up Whistler Mountain in 1966 a bit of work had to be done at the base.

In 1985 Whistler played host to the BMX World Championships so, to give the town a taste, Lynx sent two members of their factory team to showcase the sport on the Village Stroll in 1984. This is just one photo of something that happened this week in Whistler's history - for more check out our blog tomorrow!

Just because it's 30°C today doesn't mean we can't still think of snow from time to time, especially when we come across photos like this aerial view of Whistler Mountain.
