This geological evidence of a past slide is north of Lions Bay and south of Porteau Cove.

Despite work on the Sea-to-Sky Hwy, this area is geologically unstable.

If slumpage extends that far out into the sound, then no geologist is gonna claim the area is now stable.

I wonder how close the recent slide was to this area.

Here's the link to the site of the Furry Creek slide of 2008: http://gsc.nrcan.gc.ca/landslides/seatosky_e.php

The Google Maps link to the area at Furry Creek slide shows evidence of terraforming i.e. meshing and concrete coating made of aggregates.
