New At Whistler: Peeing Your Pants, 415 Meters Up

Seattlest got an email today from Whistler Blackcomb. We almost deleted it without reading because it's usually just a vacation deal or something and well, we're just not planning on heading north again this year. But then something in the text caught our eye. We read it again, thought "Holy shit, really?" and opened the email with bated breath.

Peak to Peak Gondola to Unite Whistler and Blackcomb Mountains
Whistler Blackcomb's boldest move yet. Twenty-eight sky cabins will travel 4.4 kms between Whistler and Blackcomb Mountains, offering unprecedented access to both mountains' expansive and unique high alpine terrain and spectacular views. The summer and winter experience at Whistler Blackcomb will be forever revolutionized.

Check out the website for all the videos, photos and neat tech-y details.

Dammit, scooped by Jack. I was going to post about this, but was too busy cleaning up the mess I made when I re-read it for the third time straight. I figured they were going to try a few nutty things with the Olympics on the way but I would never had predicted something on this scale. Gone will be the sad, sad days when you're on Blackcomb and you hear some punk on the radio with his friends raving about how sick the conditions are over on the Peak Chair that just opened up for the afternoon.
