Snow in the valley.
Who's skiing tomorrow?
seems la nina is ready to party? which means they'll probably shut down again this winter...
Vail North? Weak thread title. Anyway the only way this season isn't going to rock and roll is if someone cuts a gondola cable. My body is ready.
Rockslide near the new Whistler peak suspension bridge.
Just heard but I think it happened in mid Oct???
I believe there was also one 2 years ago.
But this one is much bigger and went down to the bottom of Whistler bowl.
Surprised that it hasn't made any local Whistler news.
Pique - where are you!
Who has pics?
It happened Oct 15. There was a news story about it today, so everyone thinks it happened today.

I heard it was caused by acidic bird shit?
What's with the slumping area on the left? It's that usually like that?
Thats normal, just how the snow is sticking on Shale Slope.

My Dad was the design engineer for the rock anchors for the bridge. They contacted him when this happened and they will be sending him pictures from a drone for an assessment. I won’t say much more going forward but the rock anchors were located and designed with this toppling failure risk in mind. It was a known risk but this slide will obviously be investigated.
