What caused the rockslide at Whistler Peak?
A rockslide at Whistler Peak has closed a section of Whistler Blackcomb. Finding out the cause might have to wait until the summer, a geoscientist says.

Bicycling Monterey 💚🌎🌍🌏Feb 19

No sooner had County of Monterey Public Works Department cleaned up this road's rockslides (https://bikemonterey.org/bike-buzz-winter-2025-2026-news-from-bicycling-monterey.html#WhereToRpt), than Mother Nature said, “Let’s do it again!”

Photos are from today’s ride between rains.

Hmm, no rain yet, and yet... the rocks already sliding over at Mugu Rock.

Kick rocks!

That’s what we started to do, attempting to use our feet to clear the west shoulder of Olmsted Rd near Hwy 68 / CA SR 68. Then we noticed the east shoulder and travel lanes were likewise strewn with many rocks! Don’t know what mishap left that mess, but we’re reporting to road cleanup crews : https://bikemonterey.org/where-to-report-a-bikeway-maintenance-need-in-monterey-county-plus-maintenance-needs-for-california-state-highways.html.

See updates to Bike Buzz for more on road maintenance, i.e., https://bikemonterey.org/bike-buzz-winter-2025-2026-news-from-bicycling-monterey.html#WhereToRpt.

What to do when you come upon a rockslide (or other debris) that interferes with biking the shoulder of a road (and you normally bike the shoulder of that road, because motor vehicles travel at high speeds in the main travel lanes)?

In California, if it’s a state highway, report it to California Department of Transportation / #Caltrans: https://csr.dot.ca.gov/.

If not a state highway (not a maintenance responsibility of Caltrans), see where to report in Monterey County, : https://bikemonterey.org/where-to-report-a-bikeway-maintenance-need-in-monterey-county-plus-maintenance-needs-for-california-state-highways.html.

Une simulation de scénarios à l'aide d'un modèle 3D prédictif d'éboulements en montagne #switzerland #geology #mountain #rockslide #solutions #suisse [ https://www.radiolac.ch/actualite/suisse/un-modele-permet-de-simuler-en-3d-des-eboulements-en-montagne/ ]

Un modèle permet de simuler en 3D des éboulements en montagne

Mis au point par des chercheurs suisses, un nouveau modèle en 3D prédit les éboulements en montagne. L'effondrement destructeur à Blatten (VS) a été correctement anticipé par cet outil. Des simulations ont été faites sur une dizaine d'autres sites en Suisse. Les conséquences d'un effondrement du Spitzen Stein, au-dessus de Kandersteg (BE), ont ainsi été […]
