Whistler, Canada

For the second half of spring break I went to Whistler/Vancouver with Kris and his parents.  It is hard to imagine now since it is supposed to be 90+ all week here in Arizona. But, I wanted to share some cool pictures. The highlight of the trip was getting to take the Peak 2 Peak gondola -  "The record-breaking new PEAK 2 PEAK Gondola links together Blackcomb and Whistler Mountains for the first time. Boasting the longest unsupported lift span in the world at 3.024 kilometres (1.88 miles), it’s also the highest lift of its kind at 415 metres / 1,361 feet." 

Whistler offers a sightseeing lift ticket for (those of us) non-skiers. It was foggy and snowy Wed-Fri, but Saturday it cleared out and was perfectly clear - and perfect for majestic views and photo ops.  Enjoy. (click on image for full size)
