So yesterday afternoon was pretty interesting for a few people in whistler. One guy got the view of a lifetime, a woman got the fright of her life and someone got a very large repair bill. Some details are still up in the air but here’s what I have been told..

So the story actually starts a week or so ago when a maintenance guy kept getting strange door safety faults on the whistler peak to peak gondola. It had been happening randomly every other day with something stuck or attempted to be wedged in the doors to try to keep them open or open them mid way through the ride. The last thing found was a lunch tray stuck between the doors.

Yesterday the bright spark who was sticking stuff in the doors managed to get it open - midway! I’m not sure how he did it but it used a ratchet strap.. Anyway the guy gets the door open halfway across with some random chick in the gondola. He then jumped 400ish meters from the ground and pulled a parachute to glide down. Different stories vary wether he was wearing a wing suit or not but either way it’s ballsy as hell.

So the chick was freaking out when they get to the gondola station with the door still open and the RCMP was out in force trying to find the guy who jumped and the cabin the guy jumped from was badly damaged from him forcing the doors open. They still haven’t found the guy but are not wanting to go lightly on him to deter others from copying his stunt. All in all another day in whistler..
