We headed North out of Vancouver along the Sea to Sky Highway and arrived in Whistler 2 hours later. It was a beautiful journey up and a beautiful day to explore the mountain.
I’d been up to Whistler twice previously. The first time was for a few days snowboarding in the winter and the second time was on a day trip in the summer, although I still managed to do some snowboarding up on top.
This time there would be no snowboarding!
We bought our Peak 2 Peak tickets in the village (which was full of mountain bikers and trails coming down) and then took the Whistler Village Gondola up to Roundhouse Lodge (1850m/6069ft).

From there, we had a small walk down the Peak Express Traverse to catch the Peak Express chair lift up to Whistler Summit (2182m/7160ft). From there we walked on the Cloudraker Skybridge and stopped at Raven’s Eye (both of which were not there the last time I was here).

We then did a walk along Mathew’s Traverse Rd and then Pika’s Traverse Rd back to Roundhouse Lodge.
After a little rest we got the Peak 2 Peak Gondola over to Blackcomb Mountain (1850m/6069ft). This also wasn’t built when I was here last.
The gondola back down towards the village wasn’t working so we got the Peak 2 Peak Gondola back to Whistler and then got the Village Gondola back down.
We had a great time at Whistler. The weather was great, the views were spectacular and I got to see parts of it that I hadn’t seen before. You can’t ask for much more.
