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.
