^you're a funny guy, but that doesn't make you anything near intelligent.
Look, here's the deal. Yes, there could be a landslide tomorrow at Whistler. Yes, it could very well kill people. Ya know what? There could be landslides anywhere on the way to Whistler, from North Van on, through west van, lions bay, furry creek, and on and on. Don't forget about flooding in Squampton, and pemberton as well. Oh, and a giant earthquake could very well level Vancouver. Maybe tomorrow, maybe 300 years from now, maybe never.
THESE ARE THINGS THAT YOU SHOULD EXPECT WHEN YOU LIVE IN MOUNTAINOUS TERRAIN. If you don't, you're a fucking idiot. It's like thinking 'hey, I'm gonna go ski some backcountry lines, but I'll be safe without a beacon, shovel, probe, and the knowledge to use them correctly as well as the knowledge to properly assess snow conditions and weather'.
Lateralis, it's clear that you lack a some media literacy skills. I suggest brushing up on your reading comprehension and critical analysis skills. This article isn't news, it isn't anything other people haven't written about; it's someone's attempt at becoming 'famous', at least in their fields. Too bad every single first and second year student at UBC and SFU who's taken a geography class has done the 'Sea to Sky landslide potential tour', and that hiking black tusk to learn about the dangers of mountainous terrain is something that most of the people I know who went through the BC high school system did in grade 10.
I'd also suggest that you go to Whistler and maybe have a good time, because your comments make it ABUNDANTLY clear that you've never been. To give you an idea of what we're talking about, the parking lots probably cover more area than your town does. Think about it.
This thread is retarded.
Bahahaha... or, you could call it the 'elitist snob' cult. Anyways, my family already owns a country club, so no thanks.
