Whistler Mountain Program Director Nigel Cooper has signed on full-time with the Club.
Cooper was appointed last September to an interim position to lead Whistler through the 2001/2002 season. “By the time he arrived in late summer planning was well in hand but Nigel hit the ground running and quickly took hold of the job in hand, he is a great asset both on and off the hill and we are delighted Nigel will be staying on with the Club in a full-time capacity” said John Benbow Alpine Chair.
Congratulations, Nigel.
