First time on Whistler's Peak to Creek (January 2024) - Whistler Peak to Village

Описание: Top to Bottom of Whistler mountain, and taking Upper Peak to Creek intermediate route for my first time...

My second time ever to Whistler Blackcomb, and my second time ever going to the Whistler's peak. Last year, I got to enjoy a very sunny, scenic, beautiful run down Matthew's Traverse and Burnt Stew Trail green runs (   • Whistler Blackcomb's Scenic peak (Jan. 202...  ).

This year I wanted to go the other direction and finally tackle the infamous Peak to Creek, touted as one of (if not) the longest ski runs in North America, stretching 11km/6.8 miles long!

Sadly, the lower half was closed due to poor snow conditions this day, so I trekked Highway 86 all the way back to Whistler Village in this run, which still provided for a lengthy ride overall!

I wasn't completely sure what to expect other than it being a blue run the whole way down. What I wasn't expecting was how relatively steep the upper parts of it was, and how many moguls mixed with firmly packed and soft snow had dotted the run, which provided a fairly tricky challenge added in with the day being overcast, making it harder to see the surface.

I consider myself an intermediate midwestern U.S. snowboarder who can handle some moguls and spots of steep terrain in a pinch, so these longer stretches were certainly a fun challenge to try and get comfortable with! My thighs were very sore by the end, and I was out of breath a lot, but hopefully I can properly revisit this run another year and challenge myself to get to the bottom quicker than the 35-ish minutes it took me this time with breaks!

Thanks for watching me struggle!

Hi! My name's Marcus. This channel is where I combine my profession as a videographer and passion for the amusement park industry into one. My channel doesn't have a set goal other than to share my experiences with amusement parks with the world and play around with photo and video equipment. Very often the two will combine, and that's when a more fancy video normally happens. Be sure to stick around for whatever fancy thing I post next by hitting that subscribe button, and thank you so much for coming by!
