Canada: From Peak to Piste

Rob Bell heads to one of North America's largest ski areas as it fires up its lifts for its 60th season. Whistler Blackcomb has become a bucket list destination for skiers.

Rob Bell heads to North America's largest ski resort as it fires up its lifts for its 60th season. Whistler Blackcomb has become a bucket list destination for skiers, so Rob - who used to work as a 'liftie' there in his youth - goes behind the scenes to find out what goes into such a mammoth operation. He gets back to work on the lifts, hears the indigenous reaction to having a giant of tourism arrive on their land and spends time with the ski patrollers working to keep the customers safe.
