On my way to work on Tuesday and I passed the local fire hall and all the fire fighters were out washing trucks. Thought that was a bit odd for that time of the morning. When I got to work I saw why. http://www.whistlerq...ur-wb-buildings and http://www.piquenews...ent?oid=2479965 Never a good time for a fire and particularly not now as we are super busy. Sound like we will do temporary trailers until the spring and look at it further then. Cause was painters rags in a rubbish bin spontaneously combusting.

“Everybody’s bunking in,” said WB spokesperson Michelle Leroux. “Staff were able to keep things seamless for our clients … and we're finding room in all of our other areas at this point, places where everyone can sit down and get back to work."

I hope WB did not have all their lifts (lift parts) in one basket (building). Sorry the pun. Could not resist . In all seriousness, my thoughts are with you as you scramble to meet the spin doctors image of nothing really serious ever goes wrong. Yes I know how true the first statement might be, that's why I am expressing my simpathy.
May the deepest snows this winter draw the biggest crowds you have ever had in your history, to begin to pay for the damage you have suffered.

Fortunately no lift stuff in the fire, only spares for all the food equipment. Lots of ski industry/ski area and personal memorabilia lost though.

Very very sad to read about this. I visited just a couple weeks ago, and noticed how similar many things looked compared to 16 years previous. But I know you guys will set things right & rebuild better than ever.

We have rehired our retired planner to go and do battle with the municipality to get all the permits we need to get our temporary trailers put in. Apparently we need a permit to demolish the burnt out wreck, but the only planner who can do it is on "stress Leave" for 6 weeks. I need to get a government job.
