"Climate change is real. Whistler Blackcomb has been proactive for decades to prepare for it. The Horstman T-bar, yeah, it's an iconic lift. We hadn't used it for 3-years. But it's [closing of the Horstman T-bar for summer skiing] certainly had to do with changes in the profile of the glacier. What we do know is that glaciers in British Columbia and around the world are receding. We're not immune and we shouldn't expect to be immune." - Marc Riddell, Director of Communications at Whistler Blackcomb
