Originally from the UK and after 20 years skiing in B.C I found the Tyrol Lodge and now it is my second home, both summer and winter.
I’m looking to promote the Sports and Social aspect of the club again and bring this great community together both at the lodge and in Vancouver. So if you have an event you want the club to be part of, just let me know. Or join me for a ski, bike or SUP around Whistler at the lodge.
