There has been a proliferation of little inukshuks in a couple of spots around Whistler Olympic Park. The fence at the biathlon stadium has a pretty good line-up of the things, but the original breeding ground was the area around the big inukshuk that stands near the jumps. The spectacle got compelling enough so that sightseers found it physically impossible to drive past without stopping in the middle of the road to take pictures. No, the signs didn’t help.

Well, today the construction crew took some serious pest management steps. As we rolled up the road to the venue for the sprint relay session there was a big front-end loader mowing inukshuks. I don’t know if it’s possible to actually eradicate these things. I guess we’ll see over the coming weeks.
