Canada makes a case for the argument that size matters

My favorite ski resort is going mental, in a good way.

Whistler-Blackcomb is building a ridiculous gondola that will connect the two peaks of their gigantic resort.

Some facts that make this yet another man-made marvel:

  1. 11 minute ride peak-to-peak
  2. 3.5 time longer than Golden Gate Bridge
  3. Higher than 4.5 Statues of Liberty
  4. Peak altitude above ground 415 metres
  5. Longest unsupported cable-span, 1.88 miles.

Can’t wait to go up there and shit my pants.
