LISA LEBRETON KORTHALS March 28, 2018 - December 3, 1968 Age 49, died on Wednesday, March 28, 2018 in an avalanche just north of Pemberton, BC. Born in Toronto on December 3, 1968, Lisa enjoyed a life full of adventure. Her defiant will to live life on her own terms led her into many fields of pursuit, all of which she diligently perfected with grace and determination. As a young girl she pursued a variety of activities including sailing, tennis and badminton but really discovered a passion for the outdoors while attending Camp Wanapatei. She became an avid canoe tripper and parlayed this into leading young teens on long, remote trips in Northern Ontario and the Yukon. The Coast Mountains of BC beckoned after high school and she based herself in Whistler where she thrived and progressed in the ski school, becoming a Level IV instructor. Later in life she transitioned into ski guiding and worked at Mike Wiegele as well as becoming operations manager for Coast Range Helisports. She also managed at this time to obtain her real estate license and it soon became a flourishing business for her. She was also heavily involved in her husband, Johnny's handcrafted ski manufacturing business. Lisa leaves behind a huge legacy in Whistler and Pemberton and will be remembered for her dazzling smile, infectious laugh, candour, warm hugs, many kisses and uncompromising style. Lisa is survived by her husband, Johnny; her son, Tye; her mother, Judy and husband, Peter Irwin; her father, Robin and wife, Janet Charlton; and her brother, Jamie. Many relatives include sisters-in-law, Julie and Juliette; nieces, Mackenzie, Emma, Willa and Frances; and nephew, Leaf. www.lisakorthals.forevermissed.com www.gofundme.com/lisa-korthals-and-family-fund
