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.
Russell Bruyns
Maintenance Manager
My name is Russell. I’ve lived in Whistler for over 7 years. I was drawn here for the mountain biking, spending time in the outdoors, fishing, camping, and exploring the mountains. In the winter I’m an avid snowboarder. I love to enjoy a day on the hill followed by a cozy night by the fire with family and friends. I love helping people enjoy the magic of Whistler and thrilled to be a part of the Outpost team. I have a wide range of skills and enjoy being a part of an expert team.
