A dedicated Whistlerite since the community was known
as Alta Lake way back in 1973, Bruce has seen a lot
of change. When the resort was young and so was Bruce,
he lived for four years without electricity or even
running water in the winter. He began working on the
lifts like most here in those days and quickly attained
a position on the professional ski patrol his second
year.
Working as a patroller for twelve years he dedicated
the last eight to training and validating the first
civilian Avalanche Dog in Canada. Creating and founding
the Canadian Avalanche Rescue Dog Association with
the help of the RCMP, Parks Canada, Whistler Mountain
Ski Corporation and other dog handlers from B.C. Alberta
and the Yukon was truly a dream come true.
Having a growing family in 1983 made him realize that
he needed to expand his career goals. Scaling back
his patrol activities to volunteering on both Blackcomb
and Whistler allowed Bruce to concentrate on Real
Estate. The timing was right when he got his license
in 1987 and living in Pemberton helped him corner
the local market and expand his influence. Bruce worked
the Pemberton Market almost exclusively for years
and continued to list and sell in Whistler. Working
on projects such as Marketplace Lodge, The Symphony,
and Woodrun in Whistler and Meadows Lane and Cottonwood
Court subdivision in Pemberton.
Today Bruce lives on the slopes at Taluswood and continues
to work his 3rd dog Quest on Blackcomb. He knows Whistler
and Pemberton inside and out. He's seen most of the
development from the ground up and has nurtured friendships
with people from all over the world.
If you would like to work with Bruce or simply talk
to him about his experience please don't hesitate
to call or write.
Bruce will be here for another thirty years.
Security, Service, and Experience since 1973.
