Our thoughts are with Lee Mounsey and all the family on the passing of Lee's Mom. Isobel was a legend at Whistler, and her claim to fame at Baldy, was that she was Lee's Mom.
There is a live link in the above article for anyone who wishes to watch the memorial tonight at 6:00pm.

| Lee by a sign painted by Isobel at Whistler How Lee came to Baldy..........Lee and Ian left Whistler and bought an orchard in Oliver. As they were planning their packaging and sales, they came for a tour of the packinghouse I worked for. I was asked to give them a tour of the plant. As soon as I learned that Lee was a Level III Instructor and Level II Coach, I gave her a phone number and told her that Baldy needed her. Shortly after that, Barbara Lang called me to tell me that her friend Isobel's daughter Lee had moved to Oliver and we should have her at Baldy. We were blessed to have Lee's talent, energy and enthusiasm here for many years. She went back to Whistler when things were uncertain here between ownerships. Lee was fortunate to have bonus time with her Mom, staying with her the last few winters. Lee returned to teaching skiing at Whistler, and training for her recently acquired Level IV CSIA Instructor's certification. WB has a pay scale that takes years of service into account. They were about to register her as a "newbie" until a senior staff member pulled out this magazine from the 80's  |
