Peak-to-Peak!

I would try to explain the sensation of traveling across two mountains over the largest ski lift drop in the world, but not even pictures can do the experience justice! Who knew? I was given a whole sheet full of intersting information to relay about the moutain and the ski lift, but I seem to have misplaced it. One I find it, I'll edit this post so you can learn more about the lift.

For now, here are pictures!


This is coming up the first lift that would take me to the peak-to-peak lift.
SO BEAUTIFUL! I love the trees all covered with snow. Apparently, Whistler has some of the best powder because it is so close to the coast, so it sticks even to the sides of mountains and trees!








This was the initial view as we came across Whistler Moutain. I wanted to join them on skis, but did not give myself enough time to rent them. Another day, when my ankle is healed I'll be sure to hit the slopes one last time!







I waited in line to take the type of lift with a glass bottom so I could
see how high we really were - it was incredible!









Well folks, here is the view from in between the two mountains! Breathtaking! The photo really doesn't do it justice.







Finally, I came down the moutain on a regular ski lift, only without skis! Thankfully, it dropped me off at the upper village, so I just walked down to the main street and found my way just fine! (check out my previous blog for details).

All in all, it was a GREAT experience and I would love to do it again - with skis! :)
