We were treated to a great dinner high atop Whistler's peak, but in order
for us to get there we were going to have to take the new PEAK 2 PEAK
GONDOLA!! Now, a few of the pics included are from the smaller
gondola's we had to take up Blackcomb to get to the PEAK 2 PEAK.
The views from the PEAK 2 PEAK were utterly fantastic!!!
Here's an excerpt from the website...http://ww1.whistlerblackcomb.com/p2pg/
The Peak 2 Peak Alpine Experience
BREAKING WORLD RECORDS. CONNECTING MOUNTAINS.
Spanning the distance between Whistler and Blackcomb Mountains, the
new world record-breaking PEAK 2 PEAK Gondola is a breathtaking,
4.4-kilometre journey to infi nite possibilities. Redefi ning the
Whistler summer experience by creating limitless new ways to get
up-close-and-personal with the mountains, this engineering marvel
breaks three world records.
* Longest unsupported span of 3.024 kilometres
* Highest lift of its kind at 436 metres above the valley floor
* Completes the longest continuous lift system on the globe
So, for some stupid reason I sound like Kermit the Frog, but other than that the fun really starts around 00:22. You'll notice that things are a bit upside down because I had my Kodak Zi6 strapped to my safety harness and only once I got going was I able to retrieve the camera. Just take a look you'll see what I'm talking about.
We've hiked around the village and got ourselves a chicken burger and
a couple of beers. Now it's a bottle of Pinot Noir and a hot tub in
our future!!!
