Thanks to Robin Beech for the heads-up on this one.  CBC News is reporting a large landslide<\/a> at Meager Creek, a hot springs area north of Pemberton:<\/p>\n

“A two-kilometre-wide landslide has been reported near Meager Creek Hot Spring, about 95 kilometres north of Pemberton, B.C. The flow of rock and soil debris has covered a river in the area, causing water to become dammed upstream of the slide.  Authorities say an unknown number of people are trapped in the area, but there is no word on injuries.”<\/p>\n

This appears to be the Meager Creek area:<\/p>\n
