Scary Heights

Today I had an awesome day.. I took a my first ride in the peak to peak gondola..

It's a monster construction, a gondola that takes you to one mountain whistler, to the next mountain Blackcomb.

I was a bit tired today this morning as well, but I got a ride with Danni, the girl in the couple I'm living with. So I got to the lifts a bit faster then usual and before the rest of tha gang..  

So I just went to the top and order a coffee and sat down on the sundeck, legs up on a chair and leaning against the wall in a springwarm sun..

Then hitting the whistler mountain park for a couple of hours, did pretty good, finally starting to get some more airtime and speed in the jumps.

then for the last hour, me and Niels, living with C.G broke up from the rest to go to Blackcomb babypark for a change of settings. and we took the peak to peak..

The view is amazing, especially on a clear day like this..  here's some facts

Peak 2 Peak gondola:

Total length   4.4 km

Highest point  436 m above ground

Length of unsupported span   3.024 km between the two towers furthers apart.

like I said.. it's a monster and really high up above the creek!

well afterwards we got together for a couple of beers, some pool and then home for late dinner and a movie..

It's a hard knocked life  ;)
