June 22, 2004 – Whistler Blackcomb has announced the appointment of a new
Public Relations and Communications manager. Whistler-based Christina
Allsop, most recently the Director of Communications for the resort’s annual
TELUS World Ski & Snowboard Festival, will join the Whistler Blackcomb team
on July 12th.

Allsop has extensive snow-sport industry experience and has been promoting
Whistler Resort for the past six years. The majority of this time has been
spent working with W1, the event marketing company responsible for producing
the TELUS World Ski & Snowboard Festival. As Director of Communications, she
was responsible for overseeing the marketing and communications for the
event, and previously spent two and a half years as the event’s Public
Relations Manager. Prior to working with W1, Allsop has also held public
relations roles with the Fairmont Chateau Whistler, Toronto agency OverCat
Communications, and the Sutton Place Hotel, also in Toronto.

“We’re excited to welcome Christina to the team,” says Stuart Rempel, Vice
President Sales & Marketing, Whistler Blackcomb. “Her close connection to
the resort and her relationships and experience gathered through working
with the Festival will be a huge asset to Whistler Blackcomb.”

“I’m very much looking forward to continuing my work with the snow industry
media in my role at Whistler Blackcomb,” says Allsop. “I have enjoyed my
work in Whistler to date immensely and look forward to the new challenges
ahead.”
