When we drive to Calgary from Paradise to visit the kids, we have to take the Coquihalla highway through the Rockies. Great highway. However we started to watch a reality show on Discovery called Highway Thru Hell about the operations of a heavy duty tow truck/ recovery company that handles accidents on that highway. The show is Canadian originally based on a reality show that featured accidents in the winter on the I 80 which is the infamous DONNER PASS. Turns out these California accidents were trivial compared to those on THE COQUIHALLA.
The program Highway Thru Hell is in its third season and is so scary with the snow conditions we will not drive The Coquihalla from October until May, which isolates us from our kids in Calgary.
I am beginning to suspect that West Jet finances the program.

The dreaded Malahat Highway in winter (feared by many here in Paradise) is like a stroll on a beach compared to the treacherous Coquihalla. Beware, all drivers living to the east and south of the Rockies.
