Whistler 2019 - 2020

What if they are essential workers ... and they just spending some free time enjoying the park?
How would you know?
Why don't you secretly stick a satellite tracker under their bumper and make a film documentary
"Pandemic travels: an American plate in Whistler"

The first episode can feature the California plate I saw on a shuttle car parked at the Branch 12 Tenquille trailhead yesterday. Would love to know this dudes story.

An american working in Whis or anywhere in Canada who has been here thru the Pandemic, would have a real reason to be here, would have observed the pandemic rules so if they get rousted by CBSA they should have no problem explaining it

but thats ^^ not whom i'm talking about and you know that,

I'm talking about multiple people who said they would stay in their car, didnt stay in their car, got caught, the 1-888 number is now advertised on the evening news, which means any American plate anywhere in Canada might get called in, any American might have to explain themselves

and you can thank your own people

This thread is sad with entitlement. Stay the fuck home if ur not from here. Show us some respect. Of course I’m fine with anyone that is here that lives here, or stuck here, American or Cdn.

I got an American friend who married a Canadian girl. He had his US plates on for 8 years after he lived here for whatever reason. We had this exact conversation. Please don't automatically assume that all American plates shouldn't be here.

this ^^ is why you can't have nice things ... some folks have wrecked it for you

to insure/register a vehical in BC or Alberta or any province I would assume, you need to pay 100$ to get it inspected which isnt much BUT it has to pass vehical inspection, so depending on how bad its fucked up this could cost thousands

Alaska has around 1,000 covid cases, compared to the lower 48 at roughly 2,600,000 cases. So I suspect the Alaskans are not too excited about people driving up there either

Depending on what state you’re from, insurance can be a lot more expensive, too. Plus you need to transfer your license and do a whole bunch of import/export paperwork. I’ve done it and it’s a major PITA to transfer everything, and probably not cheap.

For sure. I bet that guy or gals reasons are legit. I was just trying to feed into this thread rage.

But if I had USA plates right now in Canada I’d have a sign on my car with my story for being here.

Calgary is full of American platers- Are stupid government just let in 300 American insurance adjusters that do not need to quarantine as they are considered essential workers. As there are no car rentals due to the massive hail storm that destroyed everything the adjusters were forced to drive up here. Great idea-send up a bunch of potential Covid carriers from the largest outbreak center in the world, don't test them and don't make them quarantine, set them loose amongst us and hope for the best....Guess we will find out in 2 weeks what the real damage is.

In the meantime I guess they now an excuse to be in Banff on the weekend...

[XXX-er]

I think thats how they did it last time there was a big honking hailstorm with adjusters from the USA but there wasnt any covid pandemic

A sort of insurance haiku!
Scary what nature can do.

The only way to settle this is a ski off.

It's summer, therefore bike off.

I guess it's going to have to be virtual for us COVID riddled souls south of the 49th parallel.

p.s. WB finally has all the webcams back up.

the Americans trying to VaCa in Canada story surfaced on the CBC again this morning so now even more Canadians know, the story was about some Americans were trying to check in to a hotel for a couple nights.

Since they arent doing anything at border checkpoints following up on plate sightings will give the CBSA something else to do, its probably a good idea to follow CBSA's instructions to stay with the car

denied service ^^ at the upscale Westin Bayshore

Burned some MAGA hats, said sorry. Fished out the winter jackets again cos its July so of course it's cold. Then went and got our bike park passes

[gramboh]

Was in town Sunday to Wednesday. Village was comparatively dead, most restaurants open though. Didn’t see any WA plates. Bike park lineups weren’t bad considering the COVID-19 measures on Fitz (zero lines on Garbo) and it seemed like all riders were following mask and spacing requirements. Good times, kind of reminded me of summers 10 years ago.

Pemberton was amazing with the recent rain.

So we were sitting around having few pops and so we figured out how to catch Americans who don't want to listen,

Since the federales can't be everywhere but every Canadian is already everywhere just give them a cut of the fine

kinda like playing punch buggy only different eh

hey this story has legs, there have now been 10 Americans fined 1200 $ for sightseeing in banff and those nice canadians arent so nice anymore

[pureantigravity]

Not exactly skiing related ...

"hit-and-run driver left Patricia Anne Peters for dead on a highway north of Whistler, B.C."

"Peters is also chilled by the thought of Bird allegedly shrugging off what he believed was the killing of a "native man.""

Kudos for having the courage to forgive.

Native Lives Matter Too.

Whistler Bike Park braking bumps appear to have disappeared. Crank It Up and Heart of Darkness are running too fast and too smooth. The lips of the jumps are too perfect.

Lack of people, dirt with moisture (watered with the tears of Freedom extinguished by mandatory mask-wearing) and the work of the tireless trail crew means that your favourite mudhole and blown out berm probably no longer exists

[LeeLau]

Bermssss
