It has announced its boldest move yet with the construction of the Peak to Peak Gondola, geared to be complete December 2008.

Whistler, British Columbia (PRWEB) May 2, 2007 -- Whistler and Blackcomb mountains will be united by a gondola that will set world records for length and height while providing an unmatched experience for winter and summer Whistler resort guests. The Peak to Peak Whistler Gondola will travel 4.4 kilometres in just 11 minutes, transporting winter and summer guests from Whistler's Roundhouse Lodge to the Rendezvous Lodge on Blackcomb Mountain, giving them unprecedented access to both mountains' expansive and unique high alpine terrain and spectacular vistas.
 With 28 sky cabins each holding up to 28 people, total capacity will be 4,100 passengers per hour. The Peak to Peak terminal on Whistler Mountain will be located next to the Roundhouse Lodge and easily accessed from the valley by the Village Gondola. On Blackcomb Mountain the Peak to Peak terminal will be located next to the Rendezvous Lodge and accessed from the valley via the Wizard Express and Solar Coaster Express.
