Here's a rundown of Pique’s most-read letters from the past 30 days.
Got a Whistler hot take to share? A local discussion in need of starting? Just want to say thanks?
Send your letters to editor Braden Dupuis: [email protected].
1. Serious injury on Whistler Mountain ‘could have been avoided’
'This letter has been brewing for a while.'
2. Skiing should be fun, not frustrating
'I can see why many people have moved out of Whistler to other ski towns...'
3. ‘Should we separate skiers and boarders from the same runs?’
'I personally don’t mind sharing runs with boarders as an advanced skier, but I am sure many people feel intimidated by boarders with their wider sweeps and their blindside.'
4. Decision on parking should be driven by Whistler’s needs, not Vail Resorts’
'Had there been public engagement, you would have heard plenty.'
5. RMOW’s spring ritual adds risk for cyclists
'I know of two injuries last summer from bikers hitting bollards.'
6. Whistler Blackcomb spring ops spark frustration, disappointment
'I’ve stood in line long enough this year.'
7. ‘Devastated’ by trees removed from near Lakeside Park
'Was a social and environmental impact assessment completed before doing this work? Was it necessary to take down all of the trees?'
8. Whistler’s musicians and artists need your support
'It’s a tough job, but without them, Whistler would feel a lot… quieter.'
9. Would Garibaldi At Squamish help ‘Make Whistler Great Again?’
'The best thing that could ever happen to Highway 99 and Whistler is opening Garibaldi At Squamish and Bridal Veil Mountain Resort in the Fraser Valley.'
10. Will someone with authority at Vail Resorts please stand up?
'The silence by Vail has been deafening, and goes beyond arrogance.'
