Another reason to stay in bounds at North Shore ski hills.


The avalanche danger rating for the backcountry has gone up.


Local mountains have seen about 50 centimetres of new snow over the past few days, raising the slide risk to "considerable" above treeline, meaning there are dangerous avalanche conditions.


The Canadian Avalanche Centre says the rating for the Sea-to-Sky region remains at "moderate."

    I do not think many people would be playing on this Mountain, if you know anything about Mountains.They say do not go in the Mountains in the winter, then also is the summer because of forest fires.The people working logging and mining companies,Run of the river all seem to work through all of this, I guess they know everything how to prevent all of the dangers of the wild?Maybe when we will be stopped in the summer and winter and not be allowed to go anywhere to protect these companies.Just a thought ?
