Whistler Beyond Winter
My Name is Munro Duncan, people here in Whistles call me Munny. I have lived here for 18 years and we are out here on Lost Lake. This is definitively a 4 season’s town. Every season you have here, you can do pretty much anything you need to do, to get your outdoor fix. This is definitively one of the best areas to come for people who don’t have a lot of experience, say ha… hiking or running or mountain biking…. (Vincent Massey, resident) Hey! The thing that is so unique about Whistler and one of the reasons I keep on living here year after year is that this is a winter town for six months of the year and for the other 6 months it’s a mountain bike town. A lot of these trails, they end up; up at lakes, so I am behind this here that is Lost Lake, some of them are cross country trails, some of them are high alpine trails. You could show up in Whistler with absolutely nothing to do with mountain biking; no equipment, no gear, no knowledge of mountain biking and take a clinic, a one week long clinic if you want. You could hire a guide for the day that will take you all over town ….(A couple of mountain bikers) We are from Colorado, so we are of kind of touring BC and just checking out all the bike trails, this place is unreal, there in no where else like this place its absolutely awesome. (back to Vincent Massey) If mountain biking is not up you alley, then trail running is by far the best way to go. Get off the pavement and out into one of these trails and you cannot not beat it…. (Keith) My name is Keith, I am from Southern California, I am here on vacations. This morning I just went out for a nice jog and it has been a great morning. In know other places where there is, you know, hundred of thousands of tourists you kind expect to be run down, but this is just awesome….(David Udow Ziptrek Ecotours) Hi, I am David Udow from Ziptrek Ecotours … (lady’ voice) scoot around please and I get you set your cleats in here…You are ready to rock! …. Ziptrek Ecotours is a great opportunity for people to come out to Whistler and enjoy the majesty of the beautiful rainforest environment that we have.-- We run 365 days a year, we bring people literally of all ages shapes and sizes. Our youngest guest are typically around 6 years old and they get right up into to their 90’s! Whistler is awesome you have to come here; you got to enjoy all the things it offers because it is more than what you would expect.
Gas Town From Old to Hip
On Water Street here, we have seen a real revival of Gas Town, from the tourist area to a residential district and a real street life here in Gas Town… (John Atkin – Tour Guide) We are standing on Maple Tree Square behind me is Captain Jack Dayton also popularly know as Gassy Jack ….(Nadia Cabrera & Dr. Jaqueline Correa - Tourists) We are looking for the clubs to dance, to see the nice people here in Gas Town; its something new for us – its really nice so far… (John Fluevog Designer & Owner, John Fluevog Shoes) I sell my shoes in different places of North America, Australia, we sell a bit in Europe and here and there; but it all does in fact comes out from Vancouver, British Columbia which seems like and odd place for shoe design to come from, but odd things do happen… (Salt Tasting Room) We are tucked in Blood Alley, you just have to look for a flag that has a salt shaker on it. People are really open to our suggestions, wanting to try specifically BC wines, a lot of local fair and we are happy to offer that. (Kurtis Kolt, General manger, Salt Tasting Room) The chalk board behind me is the focus itself --- there are 10 cheeses, 10 cured meats, 10 condiments. What people do is choose cheese, meats and condiments; we pair wines with them and let you have at her… (tourist speaking in their native languages with captions in English)
