Whistler's latest attraction is brand new suspension bridge spanning 130 meters (427 feet) on top of the Whistler mountain. The bridge is so massive that it is visible all the way from the valley.





It's a thrilling walk between two ridge tops.



The bridge is made out of strong metal but it does still sway a fair bit when walking across.









We were told that the engineering team will have to assess ice accumulation on the bridge this winter, as there are two active double diamond runs just under it.





Another new attraction is a ledge hanging over the valley floor.







The new suspension bridge is longer than anything in Lower Mainland and it is also one of the highest in the world, being at 2200 meters (7200 feet) above sea level.





Walking in the sky among the clouds.







While at top, it is worth walking down along the service road and check out the legendary snow walls. While impressive in early summer, they tend to melt almost entirely by September. Comparison from our two visits (June vs. September).









Whistler is currently seeing big investments to become a year-round destination and with all the new summer attractions they are getting there. There are still big plans to build a lot of new things and it will be interesting to see it all take place.

Whistler is definitely worth the tip if visiting Vancouver.
