First we take the Whistler Village Gondola up to the top of Whistler, this was the first 1200m leg of our journey!
They look on with McBeth looming in the background.
We manage to get onto the Gondola with the glass floor! Check out these pillars!
Good in wind.
Looking down we see Singing Pass Trail. This trail goes from Whistler Village to Cowboy Ridge and is our route of choice from the backcountry back home.
Anyone see Lee's ski?
View up Singing Pass with Overlord in the middle, fissile on the right.
Big Country!
Looking back towards Whistler.
Making good time!
Once off the Peak2Peak we get onto the red bus which runs all summer taking skiers and snowboarders from the top of Solar Coaster to the snow on Horstman Glacier.
Rob and Gary getting off the bus.
The next leg of our hike takes us up 7th Heaven chair.
This is tiring!
The top of Blackcomb gives ever inspiring views across the valley to Whistler. You can see Cheakamus Glacier, Black Tusk and Garibaldi!
we ski there!
Closer view of Flute, Symphony and Harmony with Black Tusk prominently in the back.

Summer Glacier skiing! The boarders are on this side, the skiers are over more on Horstman Glacier.
