Ski lifts at the ski resort Whistler Blackcomb

There are almost exclusively modern chairlifts at the Whistler Blackcomb ski resort. The special highlight is the Peak 2 Peak gondola (3S) that connects the Whistler and Blackcomb mountains. Modern gondolas lead up to the ski resort from the base. Up at the glacier, there is still one t-bar lift.
