THE PEAK TO PEAK GONDOLA
WHISTLER, BC, May 22, 2007
May 22, 2007 –Whistler Blackcomb has commenced construction on their
$51 million, world record-breaking Peak to Peak Gondola. This
incredible feat of engineering will connect Whistler and Blackcomb
Mountains and is set to be completed by December 2008.
Groundbreaking took place on May 15 and excavation for each lift
terminal will take place until mid-June. "There’s lot of action on
the ground and behind the scenes and we are looking forward to a
successful production season this summer," says Rick Temple, Peak to
Peak Project Manager for Whistler Blackcomb. "While we work to ready
the mountain, crews are busy in Austria and Quebec in full
production for the steel tower components to be erected this
summer."
Whistler Blackcomb will install Towers 2 and 3 this summer. Tower 2
will be located on Whistler and Tower 3 will be located on
Blackcomb, with a span of 3.024km/1.88 miles between them.
