Guess why our mountain closes so early.

our mountain (mt washington BC canada) closes tommorow with 6.5m of snow, the past few days have been some of the few in my memory that the parking lots were so full that cars were parked on the mountain road around the first bend.

why would they make such a horrible financial desicion you might ask?

fucking marmots

literally, mt washington is home to some of the very few, vancouver island marmots, and may is when the furry little bastards tunnel their way out of the snow to get it on, on our god damned mountain.

due to the fact that there were fewer than thirty of the species left in the wild at the last species assesment for the recovery plan in 08, they decided to enact mesures to protect them, including forcing our mountain to shut down in the midst of what could possibly be the best spring season in all of history.

what do you propose we do?

lol the public loses interest in skiing that time anyways, the hill wouldnt profit, the only hill in BC open significantly later in Whistler. Killing a species isn't worth a month of skiing.

Those marmots are pretty cool man. Strathcona has a full time staff of "Marmot Shepherds" who monitor the marmots throughout the summer to make sure they don't get taken out by predators and what not.


It might be hard for you to come to grips with the situation, but their survival is more important than the hobbies of our species.

Not sure if Cain is till open, but you should just head up there. Even if it's not open, don't be lazy - go touring.

Trust me there are no marmots at Kirkwood where I ski. It would be awesome to have a mountain like Mammoth that would just stay open super late. I guarantee Kirkwood could stay open 1 more month if it weren't for the forest service making them close and the lack of interest from non season pass holders

Sierra has to close right around last weekend every year because they're on a contract with the forest service that doesn't want them working a business on the land after a certain date. They got more snow this year than any previous year, it's just something you got to deal with.

titillating anecdote my dear friend but i must say, do take care to carefully peruse the, no doubt fascinating, although mildly inappropriate contribution to remove any extraneous douchebaggery next time. I feel you would be exorbitantly startled at the sharp reduction in volume of your posts, for example, your post quoted above would be reduced to:

this is probably the most retarded thing i ve ever read actually.

we cant let nature rule our live ? and how the fuck do you ski ? indoor ?

damn how can someone say something that stupid ?

you know if every one thought like you, the world would be a terrible place. oh wait, most of our politicians think like you... and in 25 years we will have no more glaciers !


so we should also burn all the brazilian forest and raise jaguars and monkeys in zoo.
and the worst part is they have a legitimate reason to cut those tree, it s so they can eat...


let me tell you this, which comes from the deepest part of my heart : i  hate you and all the ignorant supid fucks like you who destroy our planet.

get some boots and hike that mountain you retard. actually dont, you dont deserve any line.
