You might love skiing or riding down the Saddle, but would you take your bike down it? Eight Norco riders, including local organizer Paul Fournier, did just that in 1997 to see how fast they could go. Film: Whistler Cable Collection, 1997

Did the pole shrink or did the ground get higher? One thing to keep in mind when designing structures in the mountains is how much snow can change the height of a thing. When Lynn Mathews and her family lived in an A-frame at the base of Whistler Mountain in the 1960s, she remembers having 17 steps up to their deck in the summer but only 3 in the winter!

No matter if you learned to ski on Blackcomb or Whistler, both ski schools would teach you how to pose with your ski up! Here some Blackcomb Mountain instructors show up the bottom of their skis in 1992 while Dave Murray instructs kids on Whistler Mountain in the art of ski poses in April 1982.
