that was cool. If you are a snowboarder or skier, I couldn't recommend Blackcomb/Whistler in BC enough. Definitely, the best place I've ever skied.

Best money ever spent

Very good. But I think I still prefer the style of Roger Whittaker...

I used to use one of these at the top of Whistler but we called it a T-bar lift.

Patakakkonen!


That's right! Thanks! For the life of me I couldn't remember what theme this was! I remember Kolmonen and Vanamo, the superchefs of their time.

Thanks!

The workers compensation claim is here: http://ingridandneil.files.wordpress.com/2011/02/wcbdogcase2010.pdf


If you look at the OAW press releases it is pretty funny. They go from:

OAW has had a financial interest in Howling Dogs for 4 years the operational control of the company remained with the employee

Not long after the events of late April, the employee in question ceased managing the business. This employee continues to get our support as he heals from his injuries and illness. Because of the information in the WCB ruling pertaining to his emotional condition we don't feel it is appropriate to release further information about this individual.

Outdoor Adventures at Whistler Ltd. and former General Manager, Howling Dog Tours Whistler Inc. agree to the following:
1. The number of dogs euthanized by Mr. Fawcett. Mr. Fawcett advised Mr. Houssian in mid-April 2010 that he was estimating 50 dogs would be euthanized.
2. The condition of the dogs euthanized by Mr. Fawcett. In mid April, 2010 Mr. Fawcett advised Mr. Houssian that the dogs to be euthanized were "too old" or "sick" and "not adoptable". These dogs live to "run" and were not able to do so and would have had to be kept in cages with the result that they would have had very poor or virtually no quality of life.
3. The efforts made to arrange for dogs to be adopted. Considerable efforts were made to arrange for dogs to be adopted, both before and after mid April, 2010. The efforts at adoption were not as successful as hoped.
4. The instructions given to Mr. Fawcett concerning the manner of euthanizing the dogs. There were no instructions given to Mr. Fawcett as to the manner of euthanizing dogs on this occasion, and Mr. Fawcett was known to have very humanely euthanized dogs on previous occasions.

In 2004, Howling Dog Tours Ltd. (Canmore) sold their 50% interest in "Howling Dog Tours Whistler Inc." to Mr. Robert Fawcett (Lawyer Corey Steinberg, who represents the worker). In May 2010, Howling Dog Whistler was bought by Outdoor Adventures Whistler.

The booking is done through The Adventure Group tagwhistler.com


My favorite part is that WorkSafe BC paid this dog killer compensation, and that it is "unlikely that Howling Dog Tours or Outdoor Adventures Whistler will face any charges in the massacre."

The story only came out because the manager of the company who raised the dogs and then killed them all himself with a knife and bullets, went to get disability from the gov't.

The story only came out because of his PTSD claim.


Fuck Whistler. Hell, fuck Canada, you sick fucks.

The dog killer is the former general manager and a former owner of Howling Dog Tours Whistler, now owned by OAW

@chilaxe what about the far right? It seems as long as you guys have the KKK rooting for you, along with their dog whistlers like Limbaugh, Beck, and the Pauls at the forefront of conservative and libertarian thought's public image, you're never going to get the support of present-day liberals, idealistic or otherwise.

Then you have the secessionists, the goldbugs, the tenthers, the birthers, the minutemen, the militias, and the Paulites who want to destroy the modern economy with discredited economic theories from the 19th Century. Let's not even get started on the huge arm of the "small government" movement that want to pass laws regarding all human sexual activity, and engage in large scale wars with non-Christian religions.

If you want to judge a movement's capability for rational thought based on it's outliers, there's a lot worse over in your house than in mine.

also ur a good whistler

Looking at the setting of the accident, I have to disagree. The accident should have been predicted, or at least anticipated as possible. Just past the final curve, where speeds are exceeding 140 km/h, the Whistler track is lined with a series of un-padded steel poles. Steel poles and human bodies hurtling at such speeds do not make for comfortable partners. While the variables that contribute to any one accident may be impossible to calculate, course designers must take care to make sure that their design decisions don't contribute to the death of a participant. It unfortunately always takes a death to change things, look at Senna and Earnhardt and the subsequent changes in course design and safety for proof of this.
