This was a pretty cool experience going up the gondola. I had never been to a mountain this big though I had been to Whistler before I had never experienced getting up to the mountain.
There’s actually a lot to do even if you are not skiing or snowboarding. The bar at the top of the mountain is pretty cool and there’s lots of different merchandise to buy at the top of the mountain. The views are spectacular but I did kinda get a little queasy at certain spots because it was a bit high up for.

It was last day of closing and it was a lot of people. We showed up at the opening and it was packed. It was very quick ride up and then we took Peak 2 Peak gondola. Then we hiked up to the top point and we took drag lift spent some time up went down. We stopped by cafe with a nice view and had some drinks (very overpriced) We took Whistler mountain gondola down and we got lucky because we were the only people in the gondola and finally I could film something. We spent 3 h all together. We are not professional hikers or bike mountain lovers we just wanted to have a good time and see panoramic view from the top of the mountains.
We took the Blackcomb Gondola to get access to the peak-to-peak Gondola and have some amazing views. It was definitely worth the trip but the price is way too high (approx. 90 CAD pp) for taking just 2 Gondolas. Additionally the chairlift to go to the suspension bridge and panoramic deck was just closed 1 day before our arrival.
I couldn't believe how quiet this gondola is! The ride is smooth and even with the windows open, it was so quiet inside.
Over halfway up Blackcomb is a station that you could get off at, but to reach the top of Blackcomb, keep on going!
The staff were also delightful the whole way through. Very upbeat.

During our recent trip to Whistler, we booked to go on the Blackcomb Gondola that promised amazing views over the region and a skybridge in the mountains.
We boarded our gondola at the Blackcomb terminal which is around a ten-minute walk from Whistler village. The ride was very comfortable with some nice views on the way, but the real attraction is at the top.
At the top we boarded the peak-to-peak gondola to take us from the top of one mountain to the other, when we came off we then took a chairlift that took us to the summit where the views were out of this world. The hike to the chairlift is around 15 minutes over uneven terrain but it is worth it if you are able. There is a first nations statue that looks amazing in its surrounding, you may have to wait a few minutes to get your turn to get a photograph, but it is worth it.
We walked across the skybridge which is high enough to send shivers down the spine of even the bravest but the reward is the most amazing view and backdrop for photos. After we got off the bridge, we spotted a hoary marmot who was casually digging up grass and munching away, a top moment on our trip as we hadn't seen marmots anywhere else.
Overall, the gondola is good value for money and a great way to spend a couple of hours when visiting Whistler.

Spring ski at Blackcomb was fantastic. No line ups to speak of. Snow conditions good on upper levels. So much support from ski patrol (we skied out in a cloud one day!) Did not ski out but could have (slushy). We loved the gondola. Key to keep track of how to get back to mid point blackcomb gondola. We plan to ski in the shoulder season again!
Great experience, I recommend the peak to peak gondola for sure. My suggestion is to take the Whistler side up and Blackcomb down.
When you go from peak to peak there is an option to wait in another slower lineup for a glass bottom gondola. They only show up every 15 mins. We waited, it wasn't worth it, but now we know and I am able to tell you. We spent the whole time looking out the window and heard all others saying the same thing. But it's worth taking time at the top of each mountain to look around and take it in.

What an experience to travel from one peak to another peak of mountains... Great views and awestruck experience for everyone. Better Book your tickets ahead. Amazing place for people who love Skiing. Would definitely enjoy there.
