As of August 28, a portion of the Sproatt Alpine Trails network in Whistler has been closed because of a Grizzly bear.
This closure applies to On the Rocks trail and the upper portion of Lord Of the Squirrels.
All other trails in the network remain open.
“The public is reminded that if they encounter a bear, they should be prepared to change their intended route which may mean backtracking to avoid conflict,” says RMOW.
The situation will be monitored by the RMOW Alpine Rangers and Provincial Conservation Officers.
