I love the localized microclimates. Clear and sunny all morning here in Cheakamus Crossing. Upper Village and Alpine are usually the last to lift

Dog is recovering from a stressful night of protecting the house from all their scary people in costumes and the whole family yelling at the TV while eating tiny chocolate bars

Great, now the theme song will be in my head all day 🤣

Drop them from the fire station for charity instead

Rubble Creek trailhead is closed for Bridge repairs until November 15th. Access for Panorama Ridge, Black Tusk and Garibaldi lake via Helm Creek trail.

Currently winter conditions with significant snowfall in the alpine in Garibaldi park

Snow in the hills, turkey in the oven and Jays in the playoffs.

Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃

I'm glad I'm not the only one making Dangle jokes the entire game 🤣

Oh I agree, they keep moving the goalposts of what's acceptable legally/constitutionally/ethically.

I mean more of a nationwide scale protests, violence, crack down, political retribution,martial law further degradation of civil liberties and the collapse of the US democratic system in general

I think it's inevitable though.
It'll just take a spark / catalyst. They'll keep pouring gasoline until it catches

Callaghan Valley before the fall rain and snow sets in

Same. Just start saying "gabagool" in a thick Italian American accent when someone starts referencing it. They'll never know

Bravo Zulu. That looked like a Herculean effort by all involved

*sorry Wedge NW, West widge approach . Haven't had any on NE arete in years

They sure are passionate! The lower trail/lake approach I'd argue footwear is even more critical in terms of ankle rolls, breaks.

Higher up, trauma was all from loose rock, foothold collapse falls and rock crush injuries. Wedge N.E approach was a big producer

The last time I attempted to address this particular fad, I was shot down by many claiming runners were appropriate on climbs like these. One of those people has now been the subject of 3-4 different rescues and many more bear misses around the province

I was involved in nearly all of these rescues and seeing the chatter on online forums, it absolutely was predictable. You could probably graph the rise based on trip reports and engagement alone.

You and Brad both hit the nail in terms of root causes

Honestly the uncropped headline adds even more questions

First signs of snow in SW BC from the Whistler peak cam

Watching him try to pronounce "acetaminophen" was very painful

It's not exclusive to that group either, but it has definitely gone off the rails. Overt racism is back. I feel like we've gone back 70 years in the last decade

Full disclaimer, that last one was mostly AI (Skynet knows bread apparently)

While there's a lot of overlap and regional variations for both breads, the biggest differentiator lies in the most common preparation method and the resulting texture: damper is typically a baked bread from the coals or hot ashwhile bannock is often fried with oil or lard in the pan over a fire

"Damper" is also an Australian campfire bread. Similar to aboriginal bush bread cooked over coals which most likely inspired it but dates back more specifically to colonial times as a staple for settlers and stockmen in the 19th century.

Anything that increases connectivity in remote locations is a good thing.

Unless you're an off duty first responder on vacation, purposely out of cell range whose phone won't stop receiving rescue update 🤣

I can't figure out where this is?

Significant amount of electrical activity around Whistler right now. Fortunately we're also seeing the first rain since the latest heatwave

Current conditions. Not a great day to be riding in a grand fondo from Vancouver to Whistler
