Whistler Wednesday - I Rode the Chairs (8/21/2013)

We arrived at Whistler on Sunday. Monday, Cathie and I walked to Lost Lake.  Tuesday I rode the trails around Lost Lake.  Wednesday I decided to take the chair to the top of Blackcomb.  I just can't sit by the pool.


I hiked around a little.  This is one of my favorite places to ski.


A few years ago, Whistler put the Peak to Peak gondola in.


I have a terrible fear of heights.  I swore I would never ride the gondola. But the lift ticket includes the gondola, so I figured I could tough it out for 20 minutes.


I was able to stand for the first bit, but once we got to the middle, it became a bit much. There was a very nice Canadian couple on the gondola with me that were quite amused about my issues.  They were also nice enough to take a picture of me white knuckling the middle of the ride.


The Whistler side is also lovely.



This is the view back towards Blackcomb.


It was very busy up there.


And I finished by taking the gondola back down to the village.
