Some of the headlines and news:
1. Terrified guests rescued after gondola plunge at Whistler-Blackcomb
2. VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) — A snowboarder who was lost for three days on a frigid, snowy western Canadian mountain said Thursday that it is wonderful to be alive. James Martin was found Wednesday on Mount Seymour (This is the mountain that I drove up on Jan 1st to take Nigel to work) in North Vancouver, British Columbia, after he lost his bearings Sunday while snowboarding the hills.
3. A man is presumed dead after going ice fishing. The unusually deep snow is insulating the ice and not allowing it to freeze. A man left on his snowmobile to go ice fishing and only cracked and broken ice has been found. It is presumed that the ice has broken and both he and the snowmobile have disappeared below the ice.
4. Two dead in avalanches near Whistler, B.C.
5. Grouse Mountain - just 2 km from our house. They got a lifetime ban on the mountain.
6. Avalanche warnings for the Southern half of BC.
7. 8 die in snowmobile avalanche accident - 3 survive.
8. The cost of removing the snow, with snow ploughs, and ice from the roads with salt is breaking council budgets.
