Each cabin will have a capacity of 28 people and 24 seated. There will be 28 cabins on the line transporting skiers, snowboarders and foot passengers between Whistler and Blackcomb mountain.

The Gondola breaks several records including the longest free span and the biggest distance to the ground in any ski resort in the world.

Merry Christmas from Alpine Whistler Accommodations

Jennifer and Tom Cole of Alpine Whistler Accommodations would like to wish you and all your family and friends Happy Holidays!

Snowy WhistlerFrom the slopes of Whistler Mountain and Blackcomb Mountain and the Village in its Christmas décor, the holiday joy is spreading fast. Skiers and snowboarders hurry on the slopes to go back to cozy homes with Christmas banquets and or fine dining in luxurious restaurants.

Whistler is really the right place to be at Christmas! And this year, with all this snow falling everyday, there’s not worry about our White Christmas!

But what is wonderful with Whistler is that this Holiday Spirit and the white stuff on the evergreens actually are going to last for months! So, in case you missed your chance over Christmas, just plan a short vacation to Whistler, Alpine Whistler will make it happen for you!

From our hearts, Merry Christmas!
