Caption: Our tracks coming down from the peak of Little Whistler. Harmony Express lift runs up the middle of this photo to Little whistler peak - top right.

Story: My brother and I hiked up from the top of the T-Bars after a snowfall one fine spring morning. The 10 minute hike above the crowds usually yielded fresh tracks even two or three days after a storm. Before 1980, one could ski harmony all the way down to the garbage dump on Highway 99 and then hitch-hike back to Whistler creek. I think the garbage dump now sells for about a gazillion dollars a square foot.
