Visit Whistler this winter and plan for the ride of your life in the new Peak to Peak Gondola opening December 2008
The Gondola will be the fastest moving lift in Whistler, able to accommodate 4,100 people per hour. The ride time is 11 minutes and it is moving at 7.5metres/25feet per second. To put that into perspective the Village Gondola runs from 4.5m/15 feet per second to 5.5m/18 feet per second and the Peak Chair runs at 2m/7 feet per second.
Each PEAK 2 PEAK Gondola Sky Cabin can carry 28 people.Two of the PEAK 2 PEAK Gondola sky cabins will have glass bottoms.
Skiers, riders and sightseers will not actually stand on the glass bottom in the middle of the sky cabin, it will be enclosed by a fence-type barrier. This will allow for a birds eye view of the Fitzsimmons Valley below.
The sky cabins with glass floors are coloured silver while the remaining 26 are red. All sky cabins will feature real glass in the windows for less scratching then traditional Plexiglass windows and amazing views up and down the valley all year long.
