Brad Sills has been a notable figure in Whistler's history since the 1970s. With a background in forestry, he arrived when it was the primary industry, predating the rise of the ski and snowboard sectors. Transitioning to home building, Brad capitalized on the community's growth and established himself as a premier local luxury builder.

Recognizing the need for a skilled Search and Rescue team, he became instrumental in assisting Whistler Mountain and the RCMP in locating and rescuing lost and injured backcountry skiers. Now in his fifth decade of volunteering, Brad has saved numerous lives while also building a successful backcountry lodge.

Brad Sills exemplifies the spirit of Whistler, combining community service with professional excellence.
