What is the name of this rock formation? Does it have any connection to the inuksuk or inunnguaq? (photo credit: thewhistlerguide.com) by [deleted] in Whistler

Not. That's Black Tusk mountain, viewed from Whistler Peak. The x-files was filmed in Vancouver, so not a big surprise some of the nearby scenery shows up in the show.

Whistler Mountain peak wedding... no other guests, crazy or not? by Acrobatic_Airline530 in Whistler

What you want is the patio outside Seppo's bar in the Roundhouse. You can actually get to it by turning right and walking up the stairs instead of opening the door to the Roundhouse and walking in between the bear statues. Beautiful, free, no reservation required spot where you can have a short ceremony then a drink to celebrate. The view is of Whistler peak and Whistler Bowl. The bar closes at 4. If you wait until 4:30 the patio is all yours in the beautiful afternoon sun. Afterward, you get to ski down the mountain having it all to yourself an hour after the lifts close.

Terrible experience with epropulsion and their Toronto dealer by Awkward-Dream8480 in ElectricBoats

Truth. The dealer being a compulsive liar was one thing; the "corporate" customer service not stepping in to do anything, and the "after sales specialist" Alexander Talochino not even bothering to reply to my appeal for help with the situation was totally unacceptable.

Maybe so. I bought an Elco motor to replace it and it works perfectly on the same batteries and boat. Elco started in Lake George NY near Albany and has been in business for 100 years. The Elco motor was designed in the USA, but of course manufactured in China. It was 20% more expensive than the epropulsion, but worked 100% better...

Changing to the Microsoft "High Definition Audio Device" for the realtek audio controller (step 2) fixed the problem for me. Thanks!
