Skiing with bad eyesight may go awry 😐

Timeless Cast (99/100): Tyler Lily

We're at the home stretch, guys! 99 down, one to go. The second-to-last character in our long-running challenge is Tyler Lily, Pamela's husband and fellow co-owner of the Vanilla Ski Resort. Tyler is very kind and energetic, often being a very encouraging and fatherly figure to the kids who come for his skiing lessons. Tyler and Pam are very sweet to each other, so much so that the residents at the resort find them sweet- often to sickening degrees. Tyler is not based on the hawk with the same name- I just took the name because it fit the pun perfectly. Aside from that, they're essentially two completely different characters. I'm pretty happy with Tyler, especially with how well he looks with his skiing gear. Right now I'm just pumped to cap off the challenge completely... but who could be the final character?

Asking for photos before picking an instructor is a no-no at the Aspen skiing school (though it’s frequently attempted). And yet, there’s still an OkCupid-like quality to pairing students and teachers. Lawson and her team spend an average of 45 minutes on the phone getting to know each skier to find the perfect lid for every pot.
