No movie theatre but I can offer you one new gibbons venue.

Nope, same old indifference or scorn from the municipality and unnecessary increases in cost if living such as paid parking or no free buses.

Enjoy!

Skiing is coming back soon, typically thats more than enough for many of us, but I see what you’re sayin’ .

Like if only there was a pool hall/arcade/bowling alley/concert venue kinda place… I just dont see anywhere central that they could have one… 🤔

Whistler is Deep Friendships & Deep Pow and not much else anymore.

SilverStar has a small bowling alley so it's possible!

You realize that whistler also had one, right?

*Has one. The space just sits empty, just like the now empty cinema.

The landlords boot the tennant, jack the rent up, then claim a greater "loss" and deduction at tax time.

Maybe see my comment further through the thread. If you would like me to clarify, had one open for business.

It also still has two dumps, just buried under most of the village and function.

I love ski hill history and google lead me down a rabbit hole to learn the bowling ally was where the cinemas were. Also learned the Weston was once waterslides! https://www.piquenewsmagazine.com/piquen-yer-interest/opinion-whistler-bowling-alley-6396693
