Property Inspector
Born and raised in North Vancouver, Christina brings with her a BA from Simon Fraser University and 14 years experience working in high-end retirement homes in customer service, admin and management.

Daniela Olguin
Housekeeping Manager
Daniela comes from Chile and arrived in Canada 6 years ago. She has a master degree in computer sciences and as she says, she came to Canada with a working and holiday visa for a year to improve her English and try something new, learn a bit of snowboarding and enjoy the outdoor life in Canada. Well guess what, after spending almost a year in Whistler, traveled around Central America and came back home, she realized that this town is her true home. She fell in love with the mountains, our beautiful surroundings and the backcountry snowboarder caught her. She discovered a new world called hospitality and she won't leave it!"
Emlyn Grubb
Owner Relations Manager
Emlyn is proud of his Welsh heritage, but the inexcusably constant rain and his love of snowboarding drove him to the mountains years ago. Over time he has gained invaluable experience in hospitality management across ski resorts in Switzerland, France & Austria. A relatively new Whistler local; arriving in 2019, although he has quickly embraced the Canadian Rockies with all the biking and poutines that come along with it and is thrilled to call this adventure playground home. In the Winter, Emlyn can be found in Whistler’s snow park or backcountry on his board. In the Summer, he enjoys mountain biking and plunging into the Ocean to explore dive sites. He is finding Canadian water to be a little colder than Indonesia’s though… Emlyn is excited to be part of the Outpost family and utilise his skills to help us achieve all of our goals.

Marlee Corra
Owner Relations Manager
Marlee is passionate about keeping the standards of our homes high and enjoys building relationships with our home owners to give them the best experience possible. Marlee is originally from Comox on “The Island” and studied Hospitality Management at Vancouver Island University. Marlee brings 17 years of Hospitality experience with her to Outpost, most of which she has spent working in Real Estate/Property Management. Outside of work, Marlee is an avid traveller and leads a very healthy and active lifestyle. Having lived in Whistler for 13+ years she now considers the surrounding mountains an extension of her backyard. She is a great resource if you want advice on which hiking or biking trails to tackle and, if your lucky, she might even give you the inside scoop on some of her favourite powder stashes on the ski hill… no promises on this one though.
