For those of you that have travel plans to Whistler this weekend, you may want to reconsider.
There has been a major rock slide just shy of Squamish, and all traffic both ways is shut down
for the next 5 days.
However, if you’re still keen to go to Whistler, consider a couple of different routes, modes
of transportation. You can always slurge and get a helicopter ride, or you can take your time,
take the scenic route around Hope, Lytton, Lilloet and Pemberton.
This will take you significantly longer to get to Whistler, but it is a gorgeous drive, you are going to want to stop, take in the sites and take some pictures. This will take significantly longer, add 4-6 hours, but it will be an adventure.
For updates on the rock slide, follow the Whistler News Link…
