The View From Here 2019 brought together idea-focused minds and local policy makers to provide insight into the many factors that impact Whistler’s business and investment environment. This year’s theme was Charting the Course and our speakers presented their views on the various opportunities and challenges that Whistler faces as we move forward and how these challenges can be addressed.

One of our panel speakers, Pete Sonntag, spoke about the takeover of Whistler Blackcomb by Vail Resorts, as well as discussing the current and future plans of the resort and how this will affect the community.
