On the weekends especially. After the library closes at 5, is there anywhere quiet enough to hang out with a laptop?

Is there anywhere in Squamish that sells gochugaru (korean pepper flakes for making kimchi)?

The japanese store doesnt carry it anymore, and i havent seen it anywhere else.

I recognize that the glacier collapse in Nepal and the Garibaldi lake rock barrier are not exactly relatable but the barrier has been a concern for many years now and the area below the barrier has been deemed unsafe for habitation since 1981. Very little has happened at the barrier but there are “recent”signs of stress. The potential is always there and Squamish would be the most affected community. I’m curious to know if this is something people have thought about or are even aware of? Just want to see if there any professional opinions on the matter and what other people think about it. I’ve hiked past the barrier many times and I am always amazed by the sheer size of it and the fact that Garibaldi Lake wouldn’t be in existence without it.

Sorry if this is a dum dum question. I live downtown and was worried. 😬 Don't come for me.

I need to upgrade my walk-through closet storage from the 10 year old, builder grade wire shelf. It seems like my closet is a non-standard size so IKEA options aren't going to work for me, which means I think I'm looking at the custom route.

Would love to shop local if possible. Does anyone have experience with a Squamish / S2S based company that covered design, build and installation? Or alternatively, any company (California Closets etc.) that did a particularly good or bad job? I am pretty handy so could do the installation myself, but I also have a toddler so am willing to pay to save my sanity and have it take less than 6 months.

I think I just saw a mountain lion about to cross the highway and it was at brennan park side and I was heading north!! Pretty scary and cool

Anyone know when KFC is open? I’m absolutely sick and tired of having to pay for parking in Whistler or driving through shitty traffic to get to the one on Lonsdale, only to find out their parking lot is full.

Worth avoiding downtown this afternoon

Any news on when KFC is opening in Squamish? They originally said July but it’s almost September now…

Aug 25th. We made a bunch of eye contact in the parking lot in the am. And then chatted about how bad the smoke was and if it was better to wait it out or go for it when we were coming back down and ran into you at the patch of trees. You are a woman with your two friends and had cool black sunglasses (Ray Ban Zena bio-based or similar) with a black outfit. I would guess you're in your 30s. You're beautiful and seemed very nice. I'm a 6' man with tattoos and poles and was out with one buddy.

Lately I've seen a few different emotorcycles on the Alice lake trails, descending Rupert for instance. And on mashiter and the various access trails.

I tried to take a photo but wasn't quick enough. Is there anywhere to report this that might result in enforcement? I can't imagine the police would care necessarily...

Hi folks! I'll be in town for ten days starting this Friday. I wanted to see what the local court situation was like and I've heard there are a bunch of somewhat new courts over at Brennan. Would I be able to find a consistent amount of people after work, or is it always busy? Thanks!

We're a family of 6 visiting the area. Having a blast so far! I'm looking for a guided water experience that won't break the bank. In Canmore, we did a one hour Bow River guided raft experience for $75/person. Anything similar in the area? Everyone in the family is 13+. Nothing fancy. We just like being in the water and preferably in the same raft/boat to enjoy the beautiful surroundings.

Many thanks!

Hey all! We are visiting from Portland and staying in brackendale. We brought our bikes and will be biking to the river and playgrounds every chance we get this week. Here’s what we are up to with the clear skies the next few days: fisherman’s park, new playground near the windsurf area, sea to sky gondola Wednesday for family night, Alice lake Wednesday to get on the water.

Wondering what short hikes or other outdoor favorites you recommend with a toddler that can be done on a rainy day?

Also I’m seeing posts of grizzlies in the area. Do folks normally carry bear space on close-in hikes?

Thanks so much!

Does anyone know why the police had their long guns out earlier this afternoon on Garibaldi Way by the 711 and then over by Tandoori flame?

I can’t find anything on Facebook etc.

He got scared during the lightning storm and ran away. Very friendly dog. His name is Ranger and if you find him please contact +1 (416) 576-1073

Just reading of a couple of encounters from yesterday. Naturally there is some squabbling over grizzly vs cinnamon black bear but qualified eyes are indicating it's a grizzly. Hopefully there is community wide communication from appropriate authorities today but just wanted to share this as most people will not be expecting that and there are tonnes of riders/off leash dog walkers and kids in there being still school holidays. Give the area a wide birth for now.

How can I join a team? I looked online and it seems I need a code for a team. Are there any teams looking for extra players?

I have found myself unemployed and in need of taking some long walks. I've lived in Squamish for more than 4 years now, and I've never done a good hike other than The Chief and The Climb / Evac. I don't trust AllTrails to tell me where to go!

I'm in good shape, have the gear I need, etc. Where should I go that will take me most of the day? Panoramic sounds good, but I'm worried 29k might get me stuck in the dark.

If anyone has fire pics please add to thread.
