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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This time there would be no snowboarding!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
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).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
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).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We then did a walk along Mathew’s Traverse Rd and then Pika’s Traverse Rd back to Roundhouse Lodge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After a little rest we got the Peak 2 Peak Gondola over to Blackcomb Mountain (1850m\/6069ft). This also wasn\u2019t built when I was here last.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The gondola back down towards the village wasn\u2019t working so we got the Peak 2 Peak Gondola back to Whistler and then got the Village Gondola back down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
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\u2019t seen before. You can\u2019t ask for much more.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
