The New Peak to Peak Gondola.
Opening date set for December 2008.

Whistler Blackcomb Mountains (WB) Peak to Peak Gondola will be wheelchair accessible. It is an important feature of Whistler Blackcomb’s landmark project and Canada ’s newest tourism icon, the Peak to Peak Gondola. Each Sky Cabin will be equipped with a spot for one wheelchair (except for the glass bottom cabin).

Once completed, the gondola will bring visitors from all over the world into the high alpine to experience scenic views. Supported by only four towers, the gondola will travel 4.4 kilometers (2.73 miles) in just 11 minutes – reaching a highest vertical point of 415 m (1,361 feet) above Fitzsimmons Creek, which is a world record. Coming in at $53 million, the Peak to Peak Gondola also breaks the world record for longest free span, with a distance of 3.024 kilometer (1.88 miles) stretching between the two towers furthest apart.

Last autumn, Peak to Peak crews completed concrete pours at the terminal sites located at Blackcomb Mountain ’s Rendezvous Lodge and Whistler Mountain ’s Roundhouse Lodge. They also erected towers Two and Three. Construction will resume in April 2008 and is scheduled to wrap up in time for a December 2008 grand opening.
