Episode 9: Home crowd advantage (with Britt Janyk)

Retired Canadian alpine skier Britt Janyk is Mayor Crompton’s guest for episode 9 of The Whistler Podcast. Britt Janyk was raised in a ski family; her grandfather was the engineer responsible for installing the first double chair on Grouse Mountain, mother Andree skied competitively and was a ski instructor and younger brother Mike was also a member of the Canadian Alpine Ski Team. Britt recounts her early days of ski racing with the Whistler Mountain Ski Club, talks about the atmosphere of the Village leading up to the 2010 Games and shares how the familiar faces of Whistler’s legendary Weasel Workers helped wash the pressure away.
