The only road connecting Vancouver and Whistler has been shut down due to a large rock slide.

From the Whistler Question:

A collapsed cliff just north of Porteau Cove stopped all traffic on Highway 99 and the adjacent CN Rail track late Tuesday (July 29), and because of the need to ensure the safety of workers moving in to clear the debris, officials weren�t saying for sure when the highway might reopen.

The rock slide, which occurred on Tuesday at 11:18 p.m., brought an estimated 16,000 cubic metres of rock onto the highway. The amount is almost a quarter of what was excavated out of Doodson�s Corner, Ministry of Transportation (MOT) officials said. The debris covered approximately 60 metres of the highway, officials said.
