I'm in Whistler now. The bears are out - lots of bear crap on my lawn. I saw one crossing our street yesterday and there are always one or two on the golf course. Bears are easily seen here in Whistler, on trails, in residential neighborhoods, etc. And there was a close encounter with a cougar last week as well, although those are much less common.
