Since the first time professional skier, Stan Rey, drove up the highway between Vancouver and Whistler 20 years ago, he’s had a dream of skiing the Tantalus Mountain Range. Visible from the highway, but accessible only by helicopter, the Tantalus Range taunts serious skiers with it’s glaciated peaks every time they pass by.
