Whistler Reflections with Ski Legend Rob Boyd
"The 2010 Winter Games were a barrel of good times but the single most exciting moment in Whistler's history took place on February 25, 1989 when local ski racer Rob Boyd soared down the Dave Murray Downhill on Whistler Mountain to claim gold in a World Cup Downhill race, the first man to ever do so on Canadian soil.
"Pretty much the whole town was out for the event and Whistler went absolutely bananas, the medals ceremony in then-still-relatively new Whistler Village square was the largest crowd the town had ever hosted and kids I went to elementary school with can still tell you Rob's winning time down to the 1/100 of the second (it was 2:10:03 in case you are wondering). There are a lot of legends in this town, but Rob is our biggest hero."
