More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You launch from a high Blackcomb ridge with wind pressing in from the glacier-fed peaks, the valley below a patchwork of evergreens, lakes and braided rivers. The harness clicks; for the next stretch you aren’t walking—you’re flying. The Sasquatch® stretches more than 1.2 miles (about 2–2.1 km) across the valley, routing riders from Blackcomb toward mid-station on the Whistler Gondola and offering uninterrupted views of glacier ice, alpine bowls and the village far below.
