Partner

Mark grew up in Toronto, arriving in Whistler in 1998 for “just one season” and connected to a little start-up (Whistler Wired) while also working at the Royal Bank and completing the Canadian Securities Course. Mark’s passion for the mountains took over and he left banking to became a popular ski and snowboard instructor and to chase the snow year-round operating SouthAmericaSki.com Vacations in Argentina and Chile while becoming fluent in Spanish and Portuguese. More than 20 years later, he is still an integral part of Whistler Wired. Need real estate advice? Look no further, Mark is also a licensed realtor at RE/MAX Sea to Sky Real Estate.
