Whistler/Vail North 2020/2021
Enough of last yrs thread.
Snow in the valley.
Who's skiing tomorrow?Always do sober what you said you'd do drunk. That will teach you to keep your mouth shut.

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.

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.
