Every year in Whistler is awesome because the people that love and live amongst the mountains only get better with age. Even so, looking back at the end of each year it never ceases to amaze us here at The Insider just how lucky we are to live in such an incredible and vibrant place.
And so we’re proud to present a photo recollection of the past 12 months courtesy of local photographer/man-about-town Mike Crane. If a picture is worth a thousand words then here’s 36,000+ reasons to celebrate Whistler 2014 and get excited for the year to come.
January 9, 2014: A new year starts off right, with fresh snow.
