2 I LOVE WHISTLER HANDS DOWN, ONE OF THE BEST PLACES I VE BEEN TO - Mike Papagna, Simsbury, Connecticut From action-packed to laid-back, vibrant Village to dramatic alpine, Whistler s contrasts and variety are a winning combination for a summer getaway. N Break a world record, or three, via the PEAK 2 PEAK Gondola, a 4.4 km (2.73 mi) journey linking Whistler and Blackcomb Mountains, alpine vistas and hiking trails. N Feast your eyes, as well as your appetite, with a variety of mountain top dining options at 6,000 ft. N Tap the festive energy of the Village at the Family Adventure Zone or meander through the shops, patios and cafés. P: Paul Morrison N Saddle up and see more with the cruiser-friendly Valley Trail network or the Whistler Bike Park s 250 km of lift-serviced mountain bike trails / whistlerblackcomb.com

3 2 PEAK 2 PEAK ALPINE EXPERIENCE THE PEAK 2 PEAK ALPINE EXPERIENCE. Spanning the distance between Whistler and Blackcomb Mountains, the PEAK 2 PEAK Gondola redefines the Whistler summer experience by creating limitless new ways to get up-close-and-personal with the Mountains. The PEAK 2 PEAK Gondola breaks three world records: N At 436 m (1,427 ft) above the valley floor, it s the highest lift of its kind. N The longest unsupported span at km (1.879 mi). N Longest continuous lift system in the world. And while the record-setting statistics are impressive, nothing compares to the experience itself. The journey between the two Mountains unveils a 360-degree window into Whistler Blackcomb s alpine environment. Of course, sightseeing is just one part of the PEAK 2 PEAK Alpine Experience. You ll have access to a fantastic network of hiking and walking trails that range mild to wild! An epic hike to a glacier... a gentle stroll on an interpretative trail... a journey to the top of Whistler via the Peak Express Chair go as far as your sense of adventure takes you. DID YOU KNOW?
