The Harbour Air seaplane base (YWS / CAE5) on Green Lake near the resort town of Whistler is one of the most scenic points served by North America's largest all-seaplane airline. Scheduled and charter air services were operated by Whistler Air for many years until the airline and its single DHC-3T Turbo Otter (C-GEND) were purchased by Harbour Air in May 2012 (two years after Harbour Air acquired competitor West Coast Air). The floatplane base is next door to the Nicklaus North Golf Course in Whistler which has a parking lot and terrific outdoor dinning patio.

During the summer, Harbour Air operates up to three round trip flights between Vancouver Harbour and Vancouver Airport and the Green Lake seaplane base serving the resort municipality of Whistler in the Coast Range mountains. In addition, the airline operates regular sightseeing flights from the lake around the local area. DHC-3 Otter CF-ITF was delivered new to Wardair in Feb. 1956 and flew with the airline until 1971. It then flew with several airlines on floats in Ontario and Quebec until sold to BC, converted to PT6 turbine in 2000 and sold to Harbour Air in 2001.

In the striking colours of an independent Whistler Air's final scheme, sitting at its base on the appropriately named Green Lake at Whistler, awaiting its next business. Beyond the glacial lake, forest fire smoke obscures the mountains in the middle distance. Taken over by Harbour Air in 2012, and by 2015 repainted in a variant of Harbour Air's own colours albeit retaining Whistler Air titles.

At the time this photo was taken, the Otter was reversing away from the dock before departing with a load of tourists. This wonderful livery is just a memory since the company was absorbed into the Harbour Air group.
