info: The local bears are numerous, intelligent and very persistent in Cheakamus Crossing, originally the Whistler Olympic Athlete Village and now a community neighborhood. But they can’t claw their way into these custom-designed, bear-resistant trash and recycling receptacles. Not just functional, but also aesthetic, the laser-cut designs feature the region’s Black Tusk mountain, river rocks and autumn leaves.
