Whistler RCMP are investigating a sudden death which occurred on Whistler Mountain on Jan. 7.

When the male didn’t respond to the passerby, he contacted Whistler Blackcomb Ski Patrol to attend. RCMP from Whistler Detachment also attended the scene. Attempts were made to treat the male by ski patrol and physicians at the scene, however they were unable to revive the male, according to Sgt. Rob Knapton of the Whistler Detachment.

The end of the world

On December 21, according to some Mayan calendar readings, the world was to end.  As I write this, several days later, the world seems just fine.

One shamanistic friend of mine explained the upcoming “event” a little differently. The interpretation he put forward posited the end of the calendar indicated the start of a new age, a new world. The world as we know it would end, but the “end” would shift the world to a new paradigm, not annihilation.
