The images of yester-year. From the 1980's, some early World Cup
efforts in Whislter plus some other photos of historical interest.
That was a few years, and many races ago.
What a long way we've come from 2x2 fir net supports!
Thanks to Dave Moore and Dave Steers

on top of Porsche's on the autobahn then Canadians would train on

WC race (1984 Lauberhorn in Wengen) AND an Olympic Gold medal

Whistler's great spring Classic, 'The Great Snow Earth Water Race'. Dave Murray used to do
all four sections: he skied, ran, biked, canoed and then ran again. The skiing section started
with a 'Chinese start' and ended with a run from the snowline to Whistler Village.


Two Whistler Legends. Dag Abbey competing in skiing section of the old Whislter spring race
passes Seppo Makinen, the Finn who cleared many of the early ski runs on Whistler Mountain.
