It's been a long-time coming. We first learned about the possibility of such an amazing Peak to Peak lift back in the mid 1990's.

Well, the wait is almost over, on December 12th Whistler Blackcomb will have the inaugural rides across the valley floor from the Peak of Whistler Mountain to the Peak of Blackcomb mountain.

The lift is the only one of it's kind in North America and one of only 4 in the entire world. The journey will take approximately 12 minutes, transport you 4.4kms, and will soar nearly 450 meters above Fitzimmon's Creek and the valley floor at it's highest point.
