"A rockslide occurred near the peak of Whistler at Whistler Blackcomb while the resort was closed. There were no people in the area of the slide and no injuries were reported."
"Whistler Blackcomb crews were able to reopen both chairlifts, though the area impacted by the landslide remained closed. Snow has since rolled through, covering the debris in a blanket of white."
"It's unclear as to whether or not this area will ever be reopened to the public or if it will remain as out-of-bound terrain, but there are certainly sections that look like they could make for some sweet pillow lines on a good powder day."
"The resort likely needs to ensure that everything is completely settled and stable before opening anything in that area, potentially a summer project."
On March 12th, a rockslide occurred at Whistler Blackcomb while the resort was closed, resulting in temporary closures of Whistler Peak and the Peak Express Chair. No injuries were reported, and crews later reopened the chairlifts, although the landslide area remains closed. Snow has covered the debris, and it is uncertain if the area will reopen to the public. The resort may need to assess stability before considering future access, potentially making it a summer project.
