Ï㽶ÊÓƵֱ²¥˜ItÏ㽶ÊÓƵֱ²¥™d be possible and thereÏ㽶ÊÓƵֱ²¥™s a lot of big peaks and a lot of snow that stays all year round, a sasquatch has got to have snow, so perfect climate for himÏ㽶ÊÓƵֱ²¥™.

The show is in itsÏ㽶ÊÓƵֱ²¥™ third season, and the unscripted format has garnered a large following.

Sarah Flemming, a former operating room nurse has been general manager of the company for the last dozen years or so.

Ï㽶ÊÓƵֱ²¥˜But you could call it the GMK, which is more like general manager of Kevin!Ï㽶ÊÓƵֱ²¥™, says Flemming.

The two told Today in BC Host Peter McCully, what itÏ㽶ÊÓƵֱ²¥™s like to watch themselves on TV and have a production crew following them around day to day.
