vacation: Whistler, British Columbia

We had determined that Whistler was the farthest we wanted to go into British Columbia. There's not much beyond it. Whistler is a ski resort "community" in the winter and a lift-assisted mountain-biking resort in the summer. There is also hiking and other activities too. The zipline company operates year around. We did the ziplines. The zipline suspension walkways were similar to the Capilano ones, so turns out we could have skipped that stop.


At one overlook, we could see clearly out to the mountains surrounding the Whistler valley.


Our daughter coming down, backwards at the end. We had little ability to control the direction we pointed, so had a slow spin. The top cable is the suspension cable (tight) and the lower one is the brake cable. On the longest run, she was too light to go by herself and had to go tandem with one of the guides.


Wife in the distance.


Me looking over my shoulder. When we hit the brake area, there was a jerk every time because we were going so fast. Everyone wondered how we would stop in time, but they stop quickly.
