Sea to sky from Vancouver to whistler is closed until sunday or monday at the earliest.

Road from Whistler to Pemberton is closed aswell because of the bridge that got washed away. Expected time for that to get fixed is a few days.

Best of luck to anyone on evacuation right now.

In the mean time... party at my place

All of a sudden I'm super stoked that my house is still ok...good luck to everyone who isn't doing so well with the floods and all.

Anyone else find it weird that BC was in drought-mode a month ago, and that we're now in flood-mode? This province, weather-wise, is FUCKED.

Last Week I went to Outdoor school Camp with my grade.My teacher was in a Field talking to his Girlfriend at 11:30 pm, my friend and I were suspicious so we flashed a flaslight in the eyes of my teacher and they were closed. We Burst out laughing I said'His having phone sex'. So the Next Day I went around and told EVERYONE in my grade what happened last night. I said to them 'on the count of 3 we'll say MR. GIBSON were you MASTERBATING last night. My teacher we so red, it was fucking Hilarious

Damn, who ever though WHISTLER could get cut off from the rest of the world (so to speak) .
I got to Squamish and had to turn back.
I don't really know too much about what is going on.
Someone died? That's aweful. Was is on the road to Pemby?

We get cut off from the world every few years. Last time it was a rock slide just north of where the construction is - that doesn't include the yearly closures due to snow on the highway or whatever. Fortunately, it usually takes a few days for the cost of food to go up.

This one was a bad one though as we can't get out to the north either. Usually you can get to Van via the Duffy and the Fraser Canyon highway..no dice. Reports I heard were at least 5 days for Rutherford Creek towards Pemberton if the weather permits, and 24-48 hours at least for the Closure in the canyon.

Yeah I remember way back in the day when there was a rock slide in between Lions Bay and Britannia Beach and we were cut off, stuck in whistler. It was sweet though, cause I was like in grade 2. Way back in 88' or 89'. Good times






I feel bad for people who don't drink, cause when they wake up in the morning, thats the best the're going to feel all day

Sorry to hear all of this bad news this week. It's not every day that somthing like this grabs you like this and pulls you in when you least expect it. You always hear of this type of thing happening over seas and we just shrug it off like nothing. This week I think that all winter enthusiests should really look at how great they have it sitting back watching this from a safe place. My hat truly goes out to all people affected be this devistation that has unfolded in front of our eyes. Whistler see ya in a few weeks Tyler Gigg

overseas? you = stupid.

this whole flooding thing isn't new for Canada... Quebec flooded not too long ago (a few years), a bunch of shit got disturbed there...

...and way back in the day (for me... so like 7 or 8 years ago) Manitoba got fucked up from floods. the red river flooded and a huge chunk of southern Manitoba just south of Winnipeg (winnipeg almost flooded too) was under water.

hell, last month a hurricane fucked shit up in halifax... hurricane's in canada - it's crazy.

(not to mention other natural disasters in north america over the past decade - the ice storm on the east coast, forest fires all along the west, avalanches (especially last year, they really fucked shit up) , land slides (something about el nino causing a bunch of houses to fall into the ocean down in cali')...


but hey, at least we got a good political system where we are free... (right... about that).

sorry... it just bugs me when people think that everything is just A-OK and nothing goes wrong in our little neck of the woods. just wait till Hood eruptes and everyones like - oh... we didn't see it comming, what a tragedy.

From what I hear the road is open right now... slow traffic and big waits... but open.

And I can assure you that if you couldn't make it up for an interview what ever company it is would totally understand due to the circumstances so don't worry...

Unfortunately it's not quite that simple Jeffy. It is opening for a few hours every morning and every evening. Still closed for the majority of the days though. And it is moving, but very slowly. Anyone who doesn't absolutely have to leave Whistler shouldn't. Leave the road available to those who really need it.
