How many people do you need to help hoist a deck? This group found out while assisting Cress Walker and Paul Clark with the boat they had been building in their Alpine Meadows driveway over the summer. According to other photos from the Whistler Question, the boat was finished and launched in February 1983. Photo: Whistler Question Collection, October 1982

Did you ever eat at Rudi's Steakhouse? Here Don & Isobel MacLaurin and Franz & Annette Wilhelmsen are seen at the restaurant's closing party with Rudi Hofman himself. You can learn more about the restaurant on our Whistorical blog this week (link in bio). Photo: Petersen Collection, 1986

The view of the Olympic Chair towers on Whistler Mountain in October 1980. The season of 1980/81 was the first season that had lifts going up from the site of the Whistler Village (it was also the first season of operations for Blackcomb Mountain, whose lifts also ran from the Whistler Village). To reach the current top of the Garbanzo Chair, skiers could take the Village Chair, ski down to take the Olympic Chair, and then ski over to the Black Chair. All three of these three-person lifts were installed over the summer and fall of 1980. Photo: Whistler Question Collection, 1980
